nah, that wouldn't get rid of the galactose, i'm pretty sure that's a problem as well. but lactase would also make it a lot sweeter because it liberates the glucose. come to think of it, the taste was a bit like there was glucose in it

Why is galactose a problem?

Lactase splits lactose into glucose and galactose. Both these simple sugars aren‘t a problem, right? It‘s what your body makes outo raw milk anyways.

i'm not sure, galactose doesn't exist in anything else other than lactose.

yeah, there is some who can't tolerate it either:

so, a lot less than can't tolerate lactose. probably galactose intolerance overlaps with lactose intolerance also, because i think the whole thing is lactose tolerant people produce lactase all of their life, where most mammals don't. so galactose intolerance is a rare disease, genetic disorder really. in fact, you could be "lactose tolerant" and still have galactosemia which would mean you would not get lactose gut from drinking it but you'd get the symptoms of galactosemia instead. looks like cateracts is one of the things it can cause.
