    I'm really interested in the Fairlife product. 5g less sugar is a huge chunk of sugar for me! It might make drinking milk as a regular beverage a possibility again! Thanks for the heads up everyone!

    are processed cheeses not aged in that way? Because I have had trouble with processed cheeses like velveeta in the past. Which is unfortunate, because I enjoy the taste of vel.

    Processed cheeses, no. They are just like fresh cheeses, so I avoid them.

    I can do cottage cheese, especially if it has a bit of fat in it, like the 2% or 4% variety. but velveeta is a tummy ache waiting to happen for me.

    I get the Fair Life milk. It's more expensive, but I like what it has, so I pay for it.

    You cannot do what they do at home with regular kitchen equipment. I'm not even sure if you could set up a lab to do what they do, but the equipment expense and time spent would probably make it easier to just buy the Fair Life milk. :)

    You could look at soy, almond, or coconut milk as alternatives if lactose is your concern. Less cals too!

    Hey, @Kalikel , a yogurt or a kefir will consume the lactose too, and both can be made at home.
    @lorrpb , coconut milk is not low cal!

    Whenever I see posts like this, I always think of the poor high school chemistry teacher who failed to get through to his/her students if they think that boiling milk removes sugar...

    I despise yogurt. I so wish I didn't, but I do.

    Thanks for the tip, though. :)

    Funny, MMT is the abbreviation for Modern Monetary Theory.

    If you have a medical issue that requires a lower carbohydrate diet I can see the appeal of a lower sugar (carb) milk.

    A better option might be switching to something like almond milk. Trader Joe's makes a good version that is reasonably priced.

    Almond milk is not that much lower in carbohydrate (8g) compared to lactaid (13g).

    Kefir and yogurt can both be made at home, with kitchen equipment, with the same end result as what is purchased at the store. Lactose free, and when you make it yourself, hey, no added sugar unless you choose to put it in there.

    Hate to break it to you, @rsclause but your almond milk is not adding protein to your oatmeal.
    Comparing milks
    There's twice as much protein in the oatmeal itself.

    Yeah, you're right. I always forget the label says 50% more calcium and not protein but it's
