If you’re gonna mock me at least get one of your facts straight.

Ice cream has something like 50x as much lactose, by weight, as mozarella cheese. That’s why people who are lactose intolerant often have no problems eating cheeses, or at least certain cheeses in limited quantities. However, even people who think that they’re not lactose intolerant have digestive problems after eating ice cream—it turns out that it’s quite common for people to have some degree of lactose intolerance and be unaware of it.

(sounds almost like gpt but ithink even a robot ought to pick that up..)

>Not understanding that cheese generally still has lactose in it, and thus can still be problematic for lactose-intolerant humans.

Turns out the world is full of nuance. But generally speaking, humans with lactose intolerance will have trouble enjoying the consumption of dairy-based products... Including - you guessed it! Cheese!

Certainly, some hard cheeses are lower in lactose. But that which constitutes Mac & Cheese? Oof.

In the US, the most common cheese in mac & cheese has got to be cheddar. Cheddar is low in lactose. “Fancy” mac & cheese might use gruyère instead, which is also often acceptable to people with lactose intolerance.
