Milk contains lactose. I avoid sugar due to sinus headaches and don't have an issue with lactose.

  Lactose turns into glucose and, with a little more processing, more glucose. Glucose is absolutely harmless. (Unless you have diabetes. A huge number of Americans have given themselves diabetes by taking in so much sugar: specifically, the fructose in sugar. That will go away, absent fructose.) To be clear: table sugar is half fructose. Honey is half fructose. Any fruit juice or soda is about half fructose. Both are equally harmful. There is no problem with the sugar in any amount of whole fruit (except grapes) -- the fiber slows absorption, and your gut bacteria get it. Your gut bacteria need to be fed, or they feed on you.
