Milk Facts

No matter how old you are, milk is good for you and luckily with Lactofree, no one has to miss out.

Milk has been part of the human diet for thousands of years and even those with lactose intolerance can enjoy a glass thanks to Lactofree.

But … How much do you really know about milk?

We’ve compiled our favourite five milk facts!

1. Milk not only re-hydrates the body, but provides a host of beneficial nutrients and protects teeth at the same time
2. Lactofree dairy drink is made from regular cows’ milk and then filtered to remove half the milk sugars. The lactase enzyme is then added to the milk to break down the remaining milk sugars into simpler forms that your body can easily absorb.
3. Milk was delivered in glass bottles right up until 1964. What changed? The invention of plastic containers!
4. Milking machines can milk more than 100 cows an hour. Before that, a farmer would get through around 6 cows per hour – by hand!
5. It takes about 345 squirts to produce 8 pints of milk.
