I think this is a load of nonsense.
1. Lactose and fructose have NOT been consumed as "significant" nutrients in the human diet for centuries. They played a role in the human diet for millennia, that's true; however, like all sugars, they never played a significant role in human diet until the middle half of the 20th century. Prior to that they weren't eaten on their own. Fructose was eaten in fruit and honey. Lactose was eaten in milk - not on their own as refined sweeteners.
2. Fresh whey will help to increase growth of beneficial bacteria, but their product doesn't contain fresh whey.
thanks for checking on that! I'm glad I didn't buy any...now to convince my aunt it's not good stuff .....
