When milk is heated, lactose convert in to lactulose.
What i understand is that lactulose is not absorbed in the small intestine nor broken down by human enzymes.
In other words, humans cannot digest lactulose. (and that is why it gives a laxative effect)
This means that when you heat/boil milk, the carbs/kcal content decrease right?
I wondering how much milk sugar is convert into lactulose when you boil the milk for couple minutes , all of it?
