<s>[INST] I am lactose intolerant. Should I drink calcium-fortified soymilk or lactose-free milk? [/INST] While there is no agreed upon answer to this question, some would suggest trying the lactose-free milk which is naturally rich in calcium. Calcium-fortified soymilk tends to have about the same amount of calcium as regular milk, however this is because calcium has been added the beverage. If you are lactose-intolerant, you may think you should avoid all dairy products that aren’t labeled lactose-free. However, you may be surprised to learn that many people who consider themselves lactose-intolerant are able to consume certain dairy products without side effects. Most aged cheese, including cheddar, Colby and parmesean are naturally lactose-free. Many people who are sensitive to lactose can also tolerate yogurt with live cultures. These tips may help you to add more foods that are naturally rich in calcium back into your diet. Source: Bone Health and Osteoporosis Foundation.
