So guess what I just discovered on our organic fat-free milk label?! Our milk has 12g of sugar in ONE serving! That's insane to me. Now I feel like I should be on the hunt for a new milk. Does regular milk contain that much sugar? Yep, I just looked it up and it's the same. Holy smokes that is a lot of sugar. Remember, with my diet and Jenny Craig's philosophy you want as little sugar as possible! Well, I found that regular milk has 1.1 times less the amount of sugar but 30 times more fat. This site by no means is reliable but I found the explanation simplistic and interesting: Fat-free vs. whole milk. If what this blogger writes is true then I don't need to worry about this kind of sugar because lactose is a natural sugar and the reason whole milk has less is because the fat makes more liquid. In order to get a cup of fat-free milk to be the same amount of liquid as a cup of whole milk, you have to add more regular milk to the fat-free which means taking out the fat but a higher amount of lactose sugar. I may be confusing you, if so, go to that link because it was really interesting. To the point, I'm not going to worry about my fat-free milk because it's a natural sugar that is easier for the body to process without being a danger such as the possible effects of artificial sweeteners.
