Oh I drink normal milk. If I was "lactose intolerant"(not sure I believe in this) I wouldn't drink milk at all. And I don't think plant based milk is milk at all.

But my intuition definitely tells me it's unhealthy for my sister to drink this and pop lactase pills.

Lactase pills: Rent-seeking tolerated by the lactose-tolerant.

LACTASE PILLS: CHEAT CODE FOR BEING HUMAN.

It is exactly the same thing your own body makes…

The lactase itself may not be unhealthy but popping pills of it instead of letting your body try to do the work might be detrimental.

Like wearing high boots for hiking weakens your ankle over time and make you dépendance on the boots.

That assumes the existence of a system which tries to keep a certain amount of lactase in your digestive system (which evolutionally would not make any sense, as having a higher amount has little if any downsides, and costs barely anything) and that such a system could become less effective if unused (unlikely, as this is basic synthesis)

So, no, most likely not

You sound lactose intolerant. But you may be right. Idk.
