Many people who are lactose intolerant stay away from cheese. Often, people with this condition tend to think that cheese would be even worse than milk. Surprisingly, it is the exact opposite. Most of the lactose in milk is removed with the whey during the cheese making process. Most cheeses actually contain about 95% less lactose than the whole milk from which they were created. So, unless you are severely lactose intolerant, you can stop wasting that expensive Lactaid every time you want to eat cheese.
