To be fair, cheese usually contains sugar.
- iopq 10y agoVery little. Even most lactose-intolerant people can eat a little bit of cheese. Aged cheese contains only trace amounts because all of the lactose has been processed by bacteria at that point.
- dogma1138 10y agoProcessed cheese like that block of cheese in the meme contains quite a bit of sugar it's added to make it "taste better".
- iopq 10y agoThey also don't age it properly, they usually only age it for 18 months or less to realize the return on investment sooner.
- dogma1138 10y agothats a give for mass produced cheese and other things like wine, they add "flavoring" instead of aging it properly... Low fat cheese is also quite bad if you want to avoid sugar / carbs since adding / leaving in the carbs is pretty much the only way to produce a low fat cheese while keeping the same texture (you can increase the proteins but it will make it very stringy and or hard).
- lawless123 10y agosome of the storebought stuff would only be aged weeks.
- rogerdpack 10y agoI get the same effect from eating "something with cheese on top" that I do from eating sugary stuff (makes me want to eat more, makes me feel less full). I always assumed it was the lactose...
- maneesh 10y agolactose itself IS a sugar. That is what the -ose suffix is.
