The point is that it has a negligible amount of lactose compared to a serving of yogurt or milk.

I thought the lactobacillus culture destroyed the lactose in the process of turning the milk into yogurt. Am I ill informed here? (Wouldn’t surprise me.)

No that’s true, but in regular yogurt there’s still a pretty significant amount of lactose. It’s like 1/2 to 1/3 the amount in milk.

However, the lactase enzyme produced by the bacteria remains bioactive in the yogurt and can help your body digest the remaining lactose.
