Way OT: Sugar in Milk???

[bac2therac]

Lowfat milk is even more sugary - a reason its worse for you.


Could low-fat be worse for you than whole milk?

no I doesn't have more sugar...regular skim milk has 12 grams of sugar per cup while whole milk has 12 grams of sugar. They study mentions skim milk sweetended with chocolate or strawberry flavorings which I don't know why people who drink anyways. I drink a gallon of skim a week and would never go back to the thick full fat version

A lot of you have made comments about sugar substance like chocolate in milk or sugar and milk in coffee, I get those. Most of us do that on a daily basis. She, along with a few friends, literally take whole milk, and dump a tablespoon or two of sugar in their milk and drink away. She still thinks it's equally as weird that my 4 year old niece drinks it straight.

Do you add sugar to certain cereals (with milk)?

when we ate Rice Crispies as kids, we would put two teaspoons of sugar to give it flavor..the best part was the end with just a little bit of milk left and a pile of gooey sugar goodness you would scoop up with your spoon

Wasn't that whiskey in your water....Sugar in your Tea.... Mama told me not come!

I never understand a single word you say, but I'll help you drink your wine.

Yes, thanks for refreshing old memories. I thought sugar in cereal
was the norm, never had it any other way. Maybe that is why, today
I am toothless.:smiley:

A breakfast my mom used to make for me as a kid: a spoon of sugar on rice with raisins covered by warm milk.

Me too. I never heard of anyone else eating it.

I also nearly always ate a pieces of toast with butter and cinnamon and sugar on it. I think a lot of people did that though. If someone told me it was "fairy bread" I would've punched them in the mouth.

East and South

East and Southast Asia dont have nearly as many people who can digest milk as adults. IN northern europe most people can.

A Russian twist to this is to substitute cottage cheese and sour cream for the rice. With raisins, sugar, and a glass of milk or choco, it made for an incredible breakfast growing up.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch had to of come from somewhere. I mean it's not called that for nothing, right?

No - there aren't more sugars but the ratio changes when you take out the fat. Low fat milk becomes more sugary by reducing fat. It will kick your pancreas faster and harder. Smart diabetics know if you eat carbs, sugars etc. you need to mix them with proteins, fats etc. I recall a few years ago the diabetes groups were telling people to avoid fats and eat grains - which was about the worst thing they could do (no accident grains are used to fatten up animals before slaughter).


Eating full-fat milk, cream and cheese CUTS risk of type 2 diabetes, study finds

"High fat dairy products such as cream, full-fat milk, yogurt and cheese can actually reduce the risk of developing diabetes, according to a new study.

Swedish researchers found that people with the highest consumption of high-fat dairy products - eight or more portions a day - have a 23 per cent lower risk of developing the condition than those who eat one portion or less per day.

However they also found eating a lot of meat - especially low-fat forms - increased the risk of type 2 diabetes....

Previous research suggests that fats could affect how the body breaks down sugar and also insulin sensitivity - and may therefore have a crucial role in the development of type 2 diabetes.

In fact, some have shown that eating fat gives good control over blood glucose and insulin levels.

In the new study, the researchers wanted to examine the association between intake of fat from dairy or meat and the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

They followed 26,930 Swedish people aged 45 to 74, nearly two thirds of whom were women.
