Cow’s milk contains significant amounts of lactose, while soy milk is naturally lactose-free.

Cow milk naturally contains a high concentration of lactose, whereas soy milk is inherently lactose-free because it is derived from plants rather than mammary glands. For lactose-intolerant individuals, consuming cow’s milk can lead to digestive distress because their bodies lack sufficient lactase enzymes to break down lactose. Consequently, soy milk serves as a vital nutritional alternative, allowing these individuals to avoid symptoms like bloating and gas while still obtaining a milk-like consistency and comparable protein content in their diet.
