Being lactose intolerant is not the same as being lactic acid intolerant. Lactose is not made in the human body in general, but lactic acid is almost always being made and then further degraded. Ever run or exercise hard and long, and get that burning sensation in your muscles?? That is because lactic acid is being made ( anaerobic respiration ) faster than it being degraded. There is almost no lactose in most yogurt. ( Buy it and let it set in your fridge for a month or on your counter for a day and the value will go to effectively Zero. ) I am very lactose intolerant but I can eat cheese, yogurt, and sourcream just fine. Them little bacteria convert all of that nasty lactose to lactic acid, fortunately sour(acid), and bitter (alkaloids) and hot are my favorite flavors.
