Galactose

Elaine writes:
The rate of flow of galactose to the liver when one drinks lactose hydrolyzed milk (Lactaid milk) is high. The rate of flow of galactose to the liver when one eats yogurt is not as high. Besides, with lactose hydrolyzed milk, you are ingesting the two sugars: glucose and galactose at the same time.

With SCD yogurt, you are ingesting lactic acid and galactose, which makes a difference in the way liver cells handle the galactose.
