53. Myth No. 5 - See text below

Myth No. 5

"Pasteurization destroys lactase and thus causes lactose intolerance."

  • Milk does not contain indigenous beta-galactosidase, insofar as we have been able to determine.
  • Any beta-galactosidase which might be present in milk would likely be that produced by bacteria.
