Almond milk. Use silk brand, the only safe one.0

Heavy whipping cream is low in carbs. If it is too creamy, dilute it with water.
Coconut cream from a can is very good too.0 -

Patently false.
Patently true.
Citation needed.
Low-fat milk has a higher percentage of sugar because when you remove one component (ie fat) everything else has a higher percentage than before.
This is NOT the same as "adding sugar"
A cup of skim milk has more protein than a cup of whole milk. Do you think that was added too?
Fair cop.
I have heard it so much, that I didn't research it myself.
Half and half and heavy whipping cream are lower in carbs than non-fat, low fat and whole milk though, because they are more full of fat.
Some foods do have fat removed and have added sugar to compensate, but milk does not appear to be one of them.0
