Go compare the sugar content of whole milk to skim milk. You don't need to take my word for it, it's written right on the label.
I don't disagree with your conclusion, but I don't think they replace anything with sugar. Milk is just high in sugars, because it's supposed to give energy and nutrients to a growing calf. If you remove the fats then the sugar content is higher as a percentage.
Milk isn't all that healthy in general though. It's liquid for a calf to grow. It's much better to drink something made for human consumption and dietary needs.
Ah, you are correct. I just checked. I always thought that they added extra sugar so that it doesn't taste terrible. I know they do that with some other non-fat foods. The higher sugar content in skim and nonfat milk is because the removal of fat concentrates the remaining lactose, like you said. Thanks for correcting me!
Good on you for being graceful about it.
