We use a natural sweetener called Whey Low®. The small amount of milk sugar in Whey Low® has not caused any problems of which we are aware. The lactose-intolerant consumers in the Whey Low® Consumer Survey reported no gastrointestinal disturbances at all from the use of Whey Low®. Lactose-intolerant people can ingest as much as a single dose of 12 grams of lactose per day (equivalent to the lactose in one 8-oz. glass of milk) without any symptoms, according to Suarez FL, Savaiano DA, and Levitt MD, N Engl J Med. 1995 Jul 6;333(1):1-4. Normal daily consumption of Whey Low® as a tabletop sweetener or sweetener in baked goods should not cause any problem for lactose-intolerant individuals.
Whey Low® contains fructose, which is obtained from corn syrup (glucose NOT High Fructose Corn Syrup), and lactose, which is obtained from whey or milk. Both the fructose and lactose that go into Whey Low® are extremely pure crystalline sugars and contain little or no allergens or any proteins (like casein) that could possibly be allergens. These two simple sugars are not known to cause any allergies.
