As long as a person has the lactase enzyme, then yes.

Otherwise, it gets passed through the body as a sugar that cannot be broken down (typically causing gastrointestinal distress if consumed in large quantities).

How is lactose digested?

== == Lactose is a disaccharide sugar; a sugar composed of two monosaccharides. the two momosaccharides that make lactose are glucose and galactose. the enzyme lactase splits these two monosaccharides appart and they are easily digested. glucose can go directly into cells to be used as energy but galactose must be converted into glucose by the liver first. Lactose is digested by the liver and converted into energy and waste, just as is most other things you ingest. It gives energy to the creb's cycle, which is a major energy provider in the body. (However lactose doesn't provide very much energy at all)
