This study aimed to determine whether
lactase treated products were necessary in
lactose intolerant persons
Journal Club
Suarez FL, Savaiano DA, Levitt MD. A comparison of
symptoms after the consumption of milk or lactosehydrolyzed milk by people with self-reported severe
lactose intolerance. N Eng J Med 1999;333:1-4.
Background: Enzymes are biomolecules that
catalyze chemical reactions
The enzyme lactase converts lactose into
glucose and galactose – HYDROLYSIS
Note: In the experiment, the researchers hydrolyze
the milk that is given to one of the groups.
lactase
lactose + H2O
Lactose Intolerance
o
Some children are born without the enzyme,
lactase
o
Many adults don’t make lactase after age 2.
Are these products necessary for most
people or are we victims of marketing hype?
• Europeans and Americans have an autosomal
dominant gene that causes the continued
production of lactase
o
o
Symptoms
• bloating, stomach cramps, gas, and diarrhea
after consumption of milk products
glucose + galactose
Hypothesis: Ingestion of small amounts of
lactose (<240 ml/day) is associated with digestive symptoms in people who are lactose intolerant. Study Design o Null Hypothesis: There is no relationship between ingestion of small amounts of milk (< 240 ml) and digestive symptoms in lactose intolerant people. o Experimental Group: 21 lactose-intolerant adults o Control Group: 9 lactose-tolerant adults Study Design o Controlled Variables: subjects avoided any other dairy products for 1 week prior to the experiment o Independent Variable: type of milk – either 2% fat milk or lactose-hydrolyzed milk o Dependent Variables: ratings of GI symptoms on a scale of 0 (none) through 5 (severe) for bloating, pain, cramps, diarrhea; also recorded “each passage of flatus” Lactose intolerance was measured using hydrogen gas in a breath test Conclusions o o o Lactose intolerance was incorrectly selfidentified by 9/30 subjects All subjects were able to tolerate 240 ml of lactose per meal, therefore the null hypothesis was accepted. The authors concluded that there is little or no need for expensive lactase digested products in people who are lactose intolerant. Bibliography o Data • Suarez FL, Savaiano DA, Levitt MD.

Many scientific studies have demonstrated that cattle’s fearresponse to humans affects their productivity, behavior, and welfare. In the scientific literature thus far it is believed that fear of humans is the predominant relationship on dairy farms. Via a postal questionnaire, we gathered subjective information from 516 stock managers on reported indicators of the HAR and their opinions of the HAR on UK dairy farms. We found that only 21% of farmers believed that dairy cattle were fearful of humans. Respondents accepted that humans can have an impact on cattle temperament, as 48% of respondents attributed a cow’s docility to previous human contact and reasons given for poor milking temperament included previous negative experiences with humans (9%). Ninety percent of respondents thought cows had feelings, and 78% thought cows were intelligent. Higher heifer milk yields (≥ 200 liters) were found in herds where the stock manager thought it important to know every individual animal, although this was only a trend (p = 0.14). On farms where cows were called by name, milk yield was 258 liters higher than on farms where this was not the case (p ... Purchase answer to see full attachment
