Interesting thing about Lacto-Free milk. It isn't missing anything compared to ordinary milk. An enzyme is added (lactase) which splits the lactose into glucose and galactose. It is essentially pre-digested milk. I do not recommend marketing it as such, however. โ at La Oliva, Spain

Hot fudge, strawberry or sprinkles? Gary Ruvkun isn't only a Nobel Prize laureate, he also helps out his local ice cream truck on occasion. Ruvkun visits the 'Frosty Truck' so often the owners consider him extended family.
The newly awarded medicine laureate celebrated his prize earlier this week by hopping on board and serving some sundaes to his lab members and colleagues.
Ice cream for everyone - isn't that a great way to celebrate a Nobel Prize?
