It says under dairy that lactose is orange yet most lactose products are green. Could you please explain what that means?

Sure. We test each component at 100% - so when we test lactose at 100% the volume of the molecular structure of lactose may instigate a cellular inflammation over time. However, cow's milk is made up of approximately 4 - 5% lactose, and beta-lactoglobulin between 10 - 15%, amongst other components such as lipids (fat), water, further proteins, etc.


Therefore, it is possible that a person can mildly tolerate cow's milk, however, if over-exposed to the component of lactose of 100% it can then instigate a cellular inflammatory response. This information can be rather useful when helping identify what type of diet "variation and rotation" may work best for that particular individual. For example, if you were to consume a lactose-based item, you would have to over-consume it to 100% daily in order to instigate a trigger.
