Heck, out here even milk is sugarized. Found that out just in the nick of time when we had visitors with a diabetic kid.


The milk that we buy contains milk, Vitamin A, and Vitamin D. Milk of
course contains lactose, a sugar. Human milk has more lactose than
cow's milk, so when babies are fed cow's milk, additional lactose is
often added to bring it up to "human" standards.


But here the mom of the boy tasted it beforehand and realized that it is much higher in sugar than regular milk in Europe.


Not very scientific!


It would have caused a problem with the diabetic kid. I forgot what the container said, something really high like 2% or so IIRC.

Human milk is about 7% lactose, and cow's milk is about 5.

Which is why you can find lactose added to formula (not stuff sold as
'milk', AFAIK) in order to mimic the lactose content of breast milk.
Maybe Joerg is referring to formula (aka, in some places, 'baby
milk').


Nope, milk right here from the supermarket. It does taste a sweeter than milk from a European supermarket. Also sweeter than milk fresh from the cows over there and that tells me something must have been added.
