Reintegration of Dairy in Daily American Diets: A Biochemical and Nutritional Perspective

Abstract

This paper explores the reintegration of dairy products into the daily diets of Americans, with a focus on the biochemical role of lactase, the enzyme responsible for lactose digestion. It examines the benefits of dairy consumption, practical strategies for reintroducing dairy into the diet, and the use of lactase supplements to manage lactose intolerance. This approach aims to enhance nutritional intake and overall health in the lactose- intolerant population.
