    Lactose is found in animal milk is lactase is the enzyme that is required to digest it.

    Explanation:

    Lactose is a disaccharide made of glucose and galactose units. This sugar is naturally present in animal milk and it is digested (broken in its units) by the lactase enzyme.

    Some people are lactose intolerant because their bodies is not able to produce the enzyme. If they ingest dairy products it may cause health issues. Nowadays it is possible to purchase the lactase enzyme and ingest it with a dairy food to avoid any health effects.
