Sugar

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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!

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

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

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.
