Current research: 

Lactose has emerged as a potential natural human prebiotic. An important research area is to evaluate relationships between disease outcomes (eg colorectal cancer and inflammatory bowel diseases) and interactions between lactose and intestinal lactase, which is genetically determined. The main hypothesis promoted is that such lactase-lactose interactions may represent an important determinant of the geographic patterns of human diseases.
