Format:Paperback
This is an excellent book for anyone who thinks they may be lactose intolerant. Not only does it provide you with over 100 excellent recipes but the writers who are a husband and wife team (and are 'real' experts in the field) go into some detail about the science of it all.
Tony (Professor Anthony Campbel MA PhD FLS FRSA - Professor in Medical Biochemistry at the Wales college of Medicine, Cardiff) and Stehpanie (Dr Stephanie Matthews MB BCh PhD FRCPath - who's speciality is Medical Biochemistry (which is the chemistry of how the body works)) have been working for many years trying to figure out the effects of lactose intolerance and why it effects so many people - they have done some fantastic research, and even found that some things like "100% orange juice from concentrate" has had lactose added to it!! (This is especially true of some the cheaper/own brands - the law currently stipulates that ingredients less than 25% of the whole do no need to be disclosed!!). And did you know that Edam cheese actually has quite a low lactose count? Fascinating stuff!
Stephanie and their daughters are themselves lactose intolerant so it is a subject very close to their hearts. Stephanie also teamed up with a geneticist, and helped formulate a clinical test - which she used in her lactose intolerance clinic at Llandough Hospital in Cardiff. The test could be used to see if you are or are not lactose intolerant - there are only 2 clinics in the whole of the UK who have been known to offer this test (it's a DNA test).
Anyway, I can't stress enough that this is a must-buy for anyone who thinks they are lactose intolerant, and while there could be more recipes, the ones that are there give you a good start - but the real gem of this book is the fact that it is based on real science and the invaluable information contained will probably not be found in other books, hence why I feel it should be the primary purchase for everyone who is (or thinks they may be) lactose intolerant.
How do I know so much about the writers? For one I have the book :-) and two, I was a patient at Stephanie's Lactose Intolerance Clinic in Llandough Hospital - I found her to be a very honest and caring person, who helped me deal with my own lactose intolerance.
While I was already clued up about lactose intolerance (having spent thousands on 'alternative therapists') Stephanie helped by being able to give me a definite yes/no about what was 'wrong' with me (the DNA test), and by informing me about the science of it all and opening my eyes to why the laws around food manufacturing need to change so that there is a 100% disclosure on ingredients lists. This is very important to those of us who are lactose intolerant because 'lactose' is added to so many 'foods' simply because it acts not only as a preservative, but a sweetener too.
Anyway I ramble on a bit - just go buy this book, you won't regret it!
