Milk can really spike your blood sugar levels as well, so I would be careful. Go for the whole fat type of milk rather than the skim milk or whatever.

- fyfy18 7y agoWhat's wrong with skim milk? Is something added to replace the fat that was removed.
- corysama 7y agoI expect it’s that skim has the same amount of lactose sugar. But, with less fat you’ll likely drink more of it before being satisfied. Everyone should try lactose-free milk just once just to see how very sweet it is. It has the same sugar content as regular milk, but regular milk’s lactose is a form of sugar that we don’t taste as strongly.
- GordonS 7y agoLactose free milk does tend to have a bit less sugar overall than regular milk - something like 3.5% sugars instead of 5%. I don't personally notice lactose-free milk as being any sweeter than regular, and it doesn't look like galactose is any sweeter than lactose?

- GordonS 7y agoMilk is something like 5% low-GI sugars (lactose and galactose), so you're going to have to drink a lot of it to spike your blood glucose. If you really do want to drink that much milk, and are worried about blood sugar, you should try lactose-free milk - it's just milk that has the enzyme lactase added to it, which breaks down the lactose to galactose, and also results in a bit less sugar overall (to something like 3.5%). I can't tell the difference, taste wise.
- anaphor 7y agoInteresting, I didn't know that about lactose-free milk. Thanks, I'll give it a try.
