Sugars in Yogurt

Anyone know if there is actually sugar remaining in cultured plain milk?
Most nutritional info seems to show the pre-cultured sugar content.

It depends upon how long it was fermented. Over 12 hours, there's a
little lactose. After 24, virtually none, according to a biologist who
studied fermentation processes and once posted here.

There's none in Stonyfield Farm; so far it's the only dairy product I
can eat without taking lactase tablets. Gives me no symptoms at all.

Thanks for the information, and such a quick response 🙂

Which SFF yogurt product you refer to? I can't find one that claims no
carbs or lactose. Or, perhaps you're basing your statement on how this
yogurt affects you?

I'm sorry I wasn't more clear; yes, my claim is based upon the
excruciating and immediate effect of even a teensy amount of lactose on
my gut. Also, the product in question contains 6 live cultures, which
may help.

The plain yogurt I mentioned, both whole milk and low fat, is the only
product I can eat without taking lactase pills so far. I found this out
by accident, since it's a risk I never take.

They list the milk carbs on the label, just like the others.

I asked Stoneybrook this very question after our last discussion on yogurt
carbs. I finally got a response from their FAQ person. She had heard the
claims but did not have scientific facts to prove that it was true. Her
answer was basically " they are good carbs in yogurt".

I've added plain yogurt to my diet for the last few months-and no weight
gain. Adding my own toppings like fresh blueberries and splenda, or no
sugar preserves. There are many benefits including saving some money with
non low carb labeled milk.

I now can make my own yogurt too!
