Smart Reads: Go Dairy Free

Oddly enough, months ago, before I even thought about having an issue with milk and all of its by-products, Alisa Fleming , author of Go Dairy Free (and blogger at the site of the same name) sent me her book to review. I, of course, have waited until now to do so. When I received it, I thought, "Oh, well, at least this will maybe help me during the Vegan Month of Food , if nothing else." But now, facing a potentially dairy-free (or at least dairy-limited) life, I am finding it supremely helpful. Not only does it have the basic scientific/biological background information I need [like the fact that it really IS common for lactose intolerance to develop with age; milk allergies are entirely different from the trouble one has digesting lactose; and that even mild discomfort can be signs of intolerance.
It also taught me the lactose levels in various dairy products, including the fact that yogurt is generally low.
I also learned that whey has lactose in it...in its dry form, it's even higher than regular milk! No wonder I was in such pain with the Arctic Zero.^
^By the 'whey' (heehee), Arctic Zero is perhaps, then, falsely advertising? If whey is 50% lactose in its dry form (and fairly high otherwise), how can a product with it be lactose intolerant friendly?
