But also in our latitudes it is by no means completely vanished.  It is frequently the cause for chronical indigestion. Also children and even babies are concerned. Natural joghurt is better than milk, because lactose is decoposed by lactic acid bacteria. But sometimes in joghurt from supermarkets - even in organic joghurt -  you find lactose containing milk powder. Meanwhile it is not so difficult to prefer a cure with natural beeproduce rather than one with other sweets, because not only milk powder is contaminated with melamine but also soylecithine and other produce made of soy, even eggs.
