A person whom is affected by a food intolerance can usually eat small amounts of the food and not have any symptoms. Or eat too much of a particular food item over a course of time‚ and could possibly start to display symptoms hours later. I have a personal experience with food intolerance. I have a lactose intolerance; I can eat certain type of dairy products without any symptoms or issues. The key is the amount of lactose in the dairy product‚ the less lactose the easier it is for my body to digest

in today’s lab was extracted from human cells‚ I hypothesize that the optimal pH level is 7‚ which is the average pH level in humans. Experiment 7.3 tests enzymatic specificity. Knowing that lactase is specific for the substrate lactose‚ lactase will only bind to lactose and not work with the other substrate used in this experiment‚ maltose. The last experiment of the lab‚ 7.4‚ was done to determine the cofactors of the enzyme‚ lactase. I hypothesize that EDTA‚ a cofactor inhibitor‚ will have a negative

active site changes shape so that the enzyme moulds itself around the substrate. A simple example of the importance of enzymes in digestion is lactose- intolerance. Lactose is a sugar found in milk‚ and is digested by an enzyme found in the intestines called lactase. A lack of this enzyme can result in lactose- intolerance‚ whereby the undigested lactose is fermented by bacteria causing a host of intestinal complications. However‚ milk can be artificially treated with purified lactase. Even if a

Although the sale of raw milk is prohibited in Canada‚ some people nevertheless believe in the virtues of this product‚ claiming that pasteurization destroys important vitamins and that drinking raw milk can prevent or treat allergies‚ cancer or lactose intolerance.

The first finding: pasteurization has a small effect on the vitamins naturally

Unfortunately for those people‚ milk makes up an ingredient in many popular foods and they are unable to enjoy the same experiences as their friends and family. Milk allergies are not to be confused with lactose intolerance‚ as they are far more serious and dangerous to one’s health. Lactose intolerance is when one’s digestive system simply cannot handle milk‚ so it responds with bloating and discomfort. With milk allergies‚ the immune system conducts an abnormal response to the ingestion of milk‚ or

Dairy products have changeable levels of lactose‚ which affects how much lactase is required for proper digestion. Ice cream‚ yogurt‚ and milk contain a significant amount of lactose - even though for difficult reasons yogurt often does not generate symptoms in lactose - intolerant people.

ensues. Most people confuse a food allergy with a food intolerance. Food intolerance refers to an abnormal response to a food or additive‚ but it differs from an allergy in that it does not involve the immune system. For example‚ people who have recurring gastrointestinal problems when they drink milk may say they have a milk allergy. But they really may be lactose intolerant. One of the main differences between food allergies and food intolerances is that food allergies can result in an immediate‚
