Is the sugar in skim milk bad for you?

Absolutely.

It is not natural sugar, it is added so that the skimmed milk is palatable.

Have you considered switching to an organic soymilk, or bonsoy? They have at most 7g of sugar per serve, and about the same protein as milk.

Good luck!

agree with sublog.

Stick to you're cal/macro target. Do not worry about sugar unless you're diabetic. (Try to get majority of foods from whole food sources but 10-20% from treats can still work just fine)

oh yeah, it will kill you. anything more than 10oz is a lethal dose. you will literally fall over and die. try it. i dare you.

Deadly it is, like a silent fart. It'll getcha when you least suspect it. It has been known to snatch babies from their cribs in the night in South America.

What?

Didn't you know that? They also add the blue tint to it, making your brain think it's going to be eating blueberries. It's the Bilderbergers that are behind it.

This is not true. Don't listen to this person.

The sugar found in skim milk is the same sugar found in all milk. There's more in skim milk because the fat has been removed.

It's healthier than Almond Milk which is generally full of additives.

This is the correct answer. Nothing special about almond milk at all. Drink the real stuff.

Why would she switch to soymilk if it's the skimming process that's the problem? Hint: It's not. Lactose is a naturally occurring sugar.

Absolutely.

Good gravy. Nobody adds sugar to milk to make skim milk more palatable Where in the world do you get this info? It is absolutely wrong.

The sugar in milk is lactose. It occurs naturally. Humans produce it in there milk too.

As for whether it's good or bad... that depends on whether you're lactose intolerant. If you don't have a lactose intolerance, drink up! Assuming you like milk, that is. Otherwise, there are plenty of healthy alternatives.

LMAO!:laugh:

I guess that depends on the milk. Some milk has added sugar in it, others don't. It doesn't necessarily have to be organic to not have added sugar, just check the ingredients...

Sidesteal: I nearly spat my sugar free rockstar out on my keyboard man! (And I'm not even joking)

LOL, sugar is not added to plain milk, of any kind! Unless you are adding it yourself? :huh:

Absolutely. Not

Fixed quote -

Edit: Perhaps if you're lactose intolerant. Or if you have diabetes... But if you're healthy and eating at a calorie deficit, trying to lose weight, the sugar present in skim milk is not bad for you at all.

I'll agree with you and do one better, I am a type 2 diabetic and I drink 2 gallons of 1% Milk a week and have through my entire weightloss and have manage to lose a few pounds.... Doesn't effect my diabetes at all......

I have been drinking almond milk, but I need more protein because I am trying to build muscle, and 1 g protein per cup is just not enough for me. Plus, I have missed the taste of regular milk, so I decided to get skim because it has more protein, with 8 grams per cup and no fat. The carb count, however, is 12 g per cup all from sugar. I have heard from several people that it is good sugars and the same amount say it is bad. Could someone please clear this up for me?

Okay, I'll try to clear this up, but the issue is a bit controversial:

-fact: sugar is not good for you. Milk doesn't have that much though and is hard to over drink (I don't know that many people who sit around drinking gallons of milk continually all day long). So it's not a very big concern for anyone who's active and doesn't have diabetes.
-fact: the people who get fat from drinking sugar are usually drinking stuff like soda, juice, cool-aid, etc., with tons of added sugar. Not milk.
-fact: while skim milk is lower calorie due to zero fat, it's also less tasteful (IMHO), less filling, and has a higher percentage of calories from sugar.
-fact: there isn't much data to suggest that skim milk is any better for you than whole milk. In general, the whole "low fat" craze has turned out to be a failure for long term weight loss. That's why I usually use 2% or whole milk.

So, it's really up to you. Milk is high quality protein and is great for building muscle. But, if your goal is to lose weight, then milk might not be the optimal choice of a protein source b/c it has a significant amount of calories from other sources (unlike say, egg whites or lean meat). However, you really can't go that wrong with milk. So if you like it, then go for it.

-fact: sugar is not good for you.

what does "not good for you" mean?
