[{"role": "system", "content": "Lactose is a disaccharide molecule; a sugar composed of galactose and glucose that is found in milk. Lactose makes up around 2\u20138% of milk (by weight), although the amount varies among species and individuals, and milk with a reduced amount of lactose also exists. It can be extracted from sweet or sour whey. The name comes from ' (gen. '), the Latin word for milk, plus the \"-ose\" ending used to name sugars. It has a formula of CHO and the hydrate formula CHO\u00b7HO, making it an isomer of sucrose. The first crude isolation of lactose, by Italian physician Fabrizio Bartoletti (1576\u20131630), was published in 1633. In 1700, the Venetian pharmacist Lodovico Testi (1640\u20131707) published a booklet of testimonials to the power of milk sugar (\"saccharum lactis\") to relieve, among other ailments, the symptoms of arthritis. In 1715, Testi's procedure for making milk sugar was published by Antonio Vallisneri. Lactose was identified as a sugar in 1780 by Carl Wilhelm Scheele. In 1812, Heinrich Vogel (1778\u20131867) recognized that glucose was a product of hydrolyzing lactose. In 1856, Louis Pasteur crystallized the other component of lactose, galactose. By 1894, Emil Fischer had established the configurations of the component sugars.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Hello I know a little about being lactose intolerant, how about you?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yes!
