Sugar

About sugar

Milk contains a natural sugar called lactose which forms about half of the sugar in Yazoo. We also add some sucrose as an ingredient. We insist on using real sugar (sucrose) in Yazoo because our taste tests show that sugar tastes best. Our customers tell us they would prefer to drink a glass of milk with some sugar in it than drink something containing artificial sweeteners. We will continue to ask customers about their preferences on this and other issues.

Sugar is a natural source of energy, a type of carbohydrate. It is important that you eat enough Carbohydrate to keep you going through the day but eating too much can make you overweight, which is unhealthy. Dieticians say it's fine to eat some sugary foods as part of a healthy balanced lifestyle and that you should ensure that you do enough exercise to use up the energy that you eat.

Too many sweets and sugary foods can also lead to tooth decay, so make sure you always brush your teeth properly.
