Many years ago a nutritionist recommended a low cholesterol milk to me that
was nice tasting, i.e. full cream. So I changed to it.. However more
recently I started looking at the different milks for myself and discovered
a low fat, cholesterol free milk that had only half the carb content of the
milk that the nutritionist recommended, so I happily changed to this low fat
milk . I just happened to glance at the carb content of this low fat milk
the other day and was shocked to discover that that the manufacturer had
increased th carb content by about 16%. Now if I want to buy a milk with
lower carb I have pay double the price for a milk with only 8% more carb
than the original low carb.  What makes me more suspicious about increasing
sugar content is the way cereals are loaded with sugar to appeal to
children's taste buds. Do you remember a milk with caciul to builder
stronger bones years ago? It had about 50% more sugar. Maybe to make the
milk taste better because calcium/chalk has a yuk taste?

Just think if we could take the sugar out of milk, what a beautiful non carb
drink we could have!

Not so long ago I think I remember someone saying that they have more
trouble consuming milk than vegetables. Now when I look at the milk and
vegetables I consume I see that the vegetables have more than double the
carb content of the milk.  So I guess that person probably has an
intolerance for milk, rather than it being a matter of carbs.

I saw a program on TV in the last couple of days. It wasn't a sophisticated
program. There were no women involved. It was looking at what classes of
food create the most gasses in the intestines. As expected, baked beans
created the most - Mel Brookes, Blazing Saddles; but what I found
interesting was that the type of food that ranked second was something like
green leafy veges. So perhaps people taking metaform should avoid such
vegetables, or perhaps some diabetic scientists should undertake a study
into what foods people taking metaformin would do best to avoid.
