I finally convinced my Husband that his Raisin Bran was not good for him (20g of sugar). I have almost cut the High Fructose Corn Syrup out...That is not easy to do, they sneak that sh*t into everything. My problem, my one vice is regular Coke. I drink one a day, and I look forward to it! Is it really the end of the world to drink one can of Coke a day? Give it to me straight. OK, I am constantly reading labels.

Yes, please don't avoid milk because of the lactose. NYC Mommy: the sugar we want to avoid is the high fructose corn syrup. It is chemically processed and research indicates that our bodies metabolize it differently than regular sugar. Unfortunately way too many of our foods have high fructose corn syrup in it,especially those we give to our kids! Great point Jeff! Yes, please don’t avoid milk because of the lactose.

People eventually look at their milk label and see that for every gram of protein, they're getting a gram of sugar, and freak. The surprising thing, besides the fact that you just don't expect sugar in milk, is that lactose is one of the few low glycemic sugars. It has an index around 30, so it hits the blood as slowly as oatmeal or barley, providing sustaining carbs instead of being rocketed into your body as fat by insulin. So if you see sugar on your milk label, don't freak out. I think the most surprising sugar is lactose.

I've been trying to limit my sugar and read more labels. I was wondering if there's a difference between the different sugars you list. I was told, honey is a good source of sugar because it's natural. If I have to have sugar, is there a lesser of evils? NYC Mommy Lisa,
