lactic acid vegan question from last night

it was lactic acid, right?


What about those ingredients that sound like they are from milk, such as lactic acid, lactose, and lactate?

If it's lactate or lactic acid, it's not from dairy (exception - sterol lactate due to the stearic acid). "Lac" ingredients are usually produced by a fermentation process using cornstarch or beet sugar. Lactose is always from dairy. Most ingredients made with with calcium are vegan (i.e. calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, calcium sulfate). The exceptions are calcium caseinate and calcium stearate. Drink up the calcium fortified o.j. - it's vegan!

that stuff gives me almost instant heartburn, EVERY time. I wonder what's in it.

On the lactose side, we've been making our own cheese (Mozzarella) at home. Really good. Making a cheese press.

I have no idea where to get this around here, but this stuff rules. http://www.dr-cow.com/products/ This comes from someone who thinks most vegan cheese is gross.


When I was offered this at denver veg fest I tried my hardest not laugh when they said "would you like to try our nut cheeses?"
