Hence, consuming almond milk provides an alternative for individuals suffering from lactose intolerance, which is considered lactose-free without compromising with the nutritional benefits.

Lactose-intolerance present in infants is due to congenital lactase deficiency, also known as congenital anastasia, a disorder, caused by mutations in the LCT gene. The newborns are unable to breakdown lactose present in the breast milk or the milk formula. This type of disorder is a rare disorder and the incidence at present is unknown.

However, as per the National Institutes of Health (NIH) estimates, lactose intolerance in infants reported is around 1 in 60,000 in Finland. For adults, not able to digest lactose comprises over 60% of the human population.
