Re: Re:Re: dripped yogurt question

[Guest guest]

Thanks, Kim. I thought I had read that dripping the yogurt removes some of the carbs...I wasn't sure about that or not. I know that Greek yogurt you get in the store has less carbs than "regular" yogurt, so I didn't know if that applied here.I think it does. A lot of the galactose drips out, and galactose is a monosaccharide, and therefore a carb. So dripping would remove some of the carbs, but I don't know how many.

I thought it would too, but when I checked the carbs on the skim milk container and the whole milk container, they had the same amount. Wouldn't the carb count be higher if it had more lactose, or am I wrong?The carb count SHOULD be higher if there's a higher concentration of lactose, I would think. Unless they really are just adding water to whole milk to make skim milk =) Peace =)Alyssa 15 yoUC April 2008, dx Sept 2008SCD June 2009 (restarted)Chinese Herbs (not legal but helping!)

But the Lactaid people also dispute that. By volume it's all the same, they say. I'm not sure I believe  that. I'd like to see some real evidence -- for or against. n-- Now available.
