Milk vs Soy Milk

Looking at nutrition labels can always reveal something shocking, but it's better if you have a number to compare it to. However, when you are diabetic, the less sugar you consume, the better. So what do you think is in your milk?

Normally I wouldn't have thought twice about what was in milk, but I checked the label since it's a habit, and I hadn't drank real milk in years. I noticed a really high sugar content. It makes sense since milk is made from a cow, and it is for making a little cow, a big cow.

Regular milk has 10-12 grams of sugar per cup. Regular soy milk has 6 grams of sugar per cup. Unsweetened soy milk has 1 gram of sugar per cup. It's pretty obvious which one is better for you, but let's look at the stats.
