Milk is an important source of high quality protein, energy, calcium, potassium, phosphorus and riboflavin. It also has good functional properties and a highly acceptable taste, making milk a good alternative for the nutrition of children and for food programmes in developing countries. However, in some instances it has been advocated that milk or milk based products might not be appropriate for nutritional support, given the high prevalence of lactose intolerance among populations in those…

Milk consumption and lactose intolerance in adults.
TLDR
Most Chinese adults with LI may tolerate moderate milk consumption <160 mL, and their accumulative cow's milk intake was calculated to explore the effect of milk consumption on lactase activity.
Development, Production, and Quality Control of Nutritional Supplements for a National Supplementation Programme in Mexico
The objective of this study was to develop supplements for nutritional support of children less than two years old and for pregnant and lactating women under a multidisciplinary Programme of…
Nutritional evaluation of goat’s milk
TLDR
It is confirmed that goat’'s milk is as good as, and in some cases superior to, cow’s milk.
New concepts on nutritional management of severe malnutrition: the role of protein
TLDR
There are indications that further clarification is still needed for applying dietary measures for specific target groups, and current dietary recommendations do not differentiate between oedematous and nonoedem atous forms of malnutrition or between adults and children.
Goats milk – a suitable hypoallergenic alternative?
TLDR
Most of the current evidence appears to refute the claim that goats milk is a suitable alternative to cows milk for people with lactose intolerance and cows milk protein intolerance, with little support for the anecdotal reports.
Desarrollo y evaluación de suplementos alimenticios para el Programa de Educación, Salud y Alimentación
TLDR
Nine nutritional supplements were developed and evaluated which comply with the necessary nutritional, physicochemical and hygienic characteristics for the target population, besides being relatively simple to prepare, and widely well accepted and consumed.

The acceptability of milk and milk products in populations with a high prevalence of lactose intolerance.
TLDR
A positive standard lactose test is not a reliable predictor of the ability of an individual to consume moderate amounts of milk and milk products without symptoms, and among individuals with incomplete lactose digestion, there is considerable variation in awareness of lactose intolerance and in the quantity of lactOSE that can be ingested without symptoms.

TLDR
The issues of terminology, molecular genetics, diagnosis, health consequences, and management of different lactase states at a general and generic level are reviewed.
Correlation of lactose maldigestion, lactose intolerance, and milk intolerance.
TLDR
The results suggest that the cause of milk intolerance in as many as one-third of African Americans claiming symptoms after ingestion of a moderate amount of milk cannot be its lactose content.
Is cow's milk suitable for the dietary supplementation of rural Gambian children? 1. Prevalence of lactose maldigestion.
TLDR
The ability to digest lactose is lost in the majority of children during the 2nd year, coincident with the cessation of breastfeeding, but is not a major factor associated with growth failure thereafter.
Tolerance to small amounts of lactose in lactose maldigesters.
TLDR
It can be concluded that the gastrointestinal symptoms in most lactose maldigesters are not induced by lactose when small amounts of lactose are included in the diet.
The Effect of Lactose Maldigestion on the Stools of Young Tswana Children
TLDR
Although stool bulk was greater when these lactose maldigesters were consuming a lactose containing diet, it was still considerably less than the stool mass associated with secondary lactosemaldigestion, which is believed to be a cause of diarrhoeal disease.
A Comparison of Symptoms after the Consumption of Milk or Lactose-Hydrolyzed Milk by People with Self-Reported Severe Lactose Intolerance
TLDR
When lactose intake is limited to the equivalent of 240 ml of milk or less a day, symptoms are likely to be negligible and the use of lactose-digestive aids unnecessary.
Studies on human lactation.
TLDR
There was a significant increase in milk protein with increase in dietary protein up to a median level and beyond this no further increase was found and Carbohydrate calcium phosphorus and iron content of the milk showed no consistent correlation with diet intake.
Milk tolerance and the malnourished African.
TLDR
Despite the combination of hypolactasia and malnutrition, 350 ml drinks of milk were well tolerated by African patients, and milk should form an appropriate nutritional supplement for Africans hospitalized in rural areas.
