Guest guest Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 For herbally "enhanced" drinks, pay attention to what the label doesn't say. Labels typically do not list the form of an herb, making it impossible to gauge effectiveness. With ginkgo, for example, potential benefits have been seen in extracts standardized to contain a certain percentage of active ingredients. If the ginkgo in a drink is not of this kind, it will be ineffective no matter how much is added. Food intolerance is a milder condition than a food allergy. Lactose intolerance affects people who lack the digestive enzyme lactase. Substitutes for milk and dairy include soymilk, rice milk, soy yogurt and soy cheese. If you have a true milk allergy, read the label and make sure that the product does not contain casein, a milk protein that will cause allergic symptoms.
