@Carmie  That is mind boggling!  Did you explain to her that eggs do not contain lactose, which is milk sugar?

[Carmie]

@Enufstuff   Yes, I mentioned that only milk has lactose and only milk products are dairy, but she got defensive, so I just backed off.

How weird. 

Good thing you backed off.  You don't want to fall into that conversational rabbit hole.

There are those who mistakenly think gluten free = low carb or keto.   Nope to that one, too.

Technically DAIRY is milks and creams
However, if you have had consultation with a nutritions, which I had too,
The medical field classifies dairy with eggs included because of the source .

People who are intolerant suffer usually from intestinal issues, which I do
So when I share intolerance I emphasize this aspect.
Your neighbor will be ok as egg whites are not the intestines upset, it’s generally the yolk.
I can’t eat eggs either so I understand.

It’s a fuzzy line between lactose intolerant and ALL DAIRY which is plus some.

Eggs are from birds.  Birds are not mammals, hence no mammary glands.

Eggs are not dairy.  Period.

There is no logical reason for anyone to include them in the dairy group.

It happens. Some people believe all manner of things that aren't true and you can't dissuade them.

I guess since they sell eggs in the dairy case but come on.  Tell her to google it.

@spumoni99   I think most people who think eggs are dairy have this misconception because of the point you make. But as you said "come on". I have seen recipes online and people will leave comments like "oh, this sounds so good but it calls for eggs and I can't eat dairy. SMH...
