Tag: Concentrated dairy

Dairy products, including various forms of milk, are generally considered to have a low glycemic index, with the GI of fresh milk typically ranging between 30 and 40. This raises the question of whether evaporated milk, a concentrated version of regular milk, maintains this favorable blood sugar profile.

According to one food intolerance resource, powdered whey can contain up to 75 grams of lactose per 100 grams, making it one of the most concentrated forms of lactose available. This concentration is due to the removal of water and other milk solids during processing, dramatically increasing the lactose content compared to liquid milk. This article answers what product has the highest lactose and explores why this is the case.
