Aircraft windows; we take them for granted.  Nice to look through while cruising at altitude.  Required for the pilots up front and certainly advantageous to have in the back for convenience and passenger pleasure.  How come we don’t hear much about windows breaking in aircraft?  Can they?  What would happen?  Let’s find out. Many people enjoy dairy products everyday and couldn't imagine meals without butter, cheese and milk. Unfortunately, being diagnosed with a dairy allergy means it's time to live life without "moo". Some people cannot tolerate milk because they lack the enzyme that breaks down lactose, the sugar found in milk. Milk from mammals including cows, goats, buffalo and sheep all contain lactose.  People can react to low milligram amounts of milk proteins, equivalent to a few milliliters of whole milk.  Cows’ milk allergy is the most common food allergy in young children and affects 2 to 7% of babies under one year of age. About 87% of children grow out of milk allergy by age 3.  Symptoms are often mild but milk can cause anaphylactic reactions in some individuals.
