Chris says,

<<   Does Lawrence really say "Lipase"? (MY copy of Lawrence was
 trashed in a major leak in our house).  If I'm correct, it should say
 Lactase; if not, I stand corrected.  I thought it was the enzymatic action
 on the lactose that was the issue, but it could be the action on the lipid.
 Would someone check and post the correct enzyme since I already posted the
 one on Lactase? >>

Yes, Lawrence does say lipase.  Is there Lactase in human milk?  I haven't
read anything about that -- though not all the enzymes that are present in
human milk are mentioned in all the books.  However, it would seem to me that
if there is lactase present in the milk in the mother, that it would begin to
act on the lactose while in the breast -- not after it is expressed.  That's
not making a lot of sense to me.  Chris, can you help me out here?
