Lactic Acid produced from Lactose? Jan 18, 2002 Last year I had to stop my meds for several months due to Lactic Acidosis. It was most likely caused by the ddI & Hydroxyurea which were since dropped from my regimen when I restarted HAART. I am now hesitant to start taking a whey protein supplement because I have a fear that there may be some relationship between the lactate contained in milk products and the lactate levels in the blood. Are there simply two different definitions for the words "lactate", "lactic", and "lactose" or is there actually some relationship? Is it possible that drinking milk proteins can contribute to hyperlactatemia and/or lactic acidosis? |

 There is no need to worry about that connection since milk sugar (lactose) and lactic acidosis involve two totally different processes. KH | |||||||||
