Sugar

sorry double clicked once i finish watching the belgian match it's off to bed, have it on a Flemish channel not my best language so can blank out the commentary.

nelliemoser, that was my original point, as so many children eat so much processed food high in sugar, salt and fat surely we should be trying to make homemade things with less of it.

Many breakfast cereals aimed at children have masses of sugar added , about 36% sugar in the worst. They are marketed as low fat of course, just to fudge the issue

I didn't know condensed milk has added sugar. Haven't had it since I was a child. Good thing too obviously!

My mum used to buy it to make coconut macaroons. I loved dipping my finger in the tin and lucking it. Where I am at the moment you can buy tiny tins of it...I have resisted till now, but can now imagine that lovely sweet gloopy stuff. I might just gave to buy one!

There is increasing diabetes in India joelsnan
I always thought evaporated milk contained no added sugar but condensed milk contains a lot. Which is why Winnie the Pooh thought is a suitable substitute for Hunny.

Felice. Most Asian food has very high fat and sugar content. Many 'curries' have ghee and full fat Yoghurt. Naans are soaked in ghee. Kulfi is full cream milk and Sugar so is Rasmalai and halwa is almost all sugar.
There are many fast food takeaways based on deep fried food.

just had a google, in 100g of condensed milk 54g are sugar, really healthy!!

How much fresh milk goes into a tin of condensed? There would be no added sugar in it.

They do not live the rest of the time on a diet of junk food, they use condensed milk in Cha but except for the use of Ghee they do not eat a lot of dairy products either.

Most of Asia use condensed or evaporated milk instead of fresh, they don't skimp...not many fat!
