Lactose Intolerance

Lactose intolerance is a digestive disorder characterized by the inability to break down lactose, a sugar found in milk and other dairy products, due to a deficiency of the enzyme lactase. As a common condition affecting a significant portion of the global population, lactose intolerance is relevant to the tech community in the development of personalized nutrition and health applications, as well as in the creation of lactose-free or low-lactose food products through innovative food technology.
