So assume the sugars in milk are not like sugar from beet or cane?
As per my previous post Yolande, sugar is sugar.
The basic chemical (atomic) formula is the same for all sugars excepting for some small arrangement of atoms.
There are Monosaccharides and Disaccharides but it's all essentially the same.
A pot of Sainsbury's Low Fat 300g Cottage Cheese contains 11.7g of sugar. That's the equivalent of 3 teaspoonfuls.
However it does have 1.8g of fibre in there so that's something.
By comparison, one of Nature's medium sized apples contains:
Calories : 95
Sugars : 19g
Fibre : 4g to 5g
Plus lots of good vitamins
The sugars break down as:
Monosaccharides: 15.15 g
Fructose: 10.72 g
Glucose: 4.42 g
Galactose: 0.00 g
Disaccharides: 3.76 g
Lactose: 0.00 g
Maltose: 0.00 g
Sucrose: 3.76 g
What matters is that fibre content. That's what changes the way your body processes the sugars.
