In response to the comment that there may be lactose added to
foods labeled pareve.  (Pareve is a kosher labeling term that means that
a food has NO meat OR milk ingredients.  It is of vegetable origin only.)
Lactose is milk sugar.  Lactose is present in human milk
(72gm/liter-approx. 7%) and is the basic sugar of human milk.  Unless an
infant is unable to digest any lactose at all, lactose added to the
mother's food should pose no problem for the infant as lactose from any
source is chemically identical. Adding lactose to a mother's food is not
at all the same as adding a cow's (sheep & goat too) milk protein to the
mother's diet. (I checked with a PhD biochemist)
