Sarah asked if lactose free milk still has the calcium absorption enhancing properties of regular lactose milk, but Andrew just went ahead and asked a different question without waiting for Peat to answer.I'm under the impression fructose is the dietary factor that increases cholesterol the most.
Ray has mentioned this several times and I've seen studies on it as well. Ray recommends sugar for raising cholesterol.
I don't think he said that. I think I remember that interview and it was the interviewer who said it and Ray just didn't correct her.
Anyway, it's the galactose that increases calcium absorption and lactose free milk merely has the two monosaccharides from the lactose, glucose and galactose.
I agree on the lactose issue. Lactose free milk simply has pre digested lactose( glucose+ galactose, just like you said), it's not that they remove the lactose from it.
