By eliminating the type of milk you consume, you can reduce your sugar consumption by 1.7 kg, or 400 teaspoons, per year.
Milk is a household item for millions of Australians, but few realize that dairy products can be high in refined sugars.
Research conducted by Nature on behalf of ReMilk shows that two out of three Australians (65%) want to reduce the amount of sugar in their diet, but 62% of us are unaware that milk contains natural sugars.
To offer health-conscious customers a viable alternative, Australian company ReMilk has created semi-sweetened dairy milk.

ReMilk is made with less sugar and more protein, while offering the same delicious taste as regular milk.
The $3.20 product is lactose-free and may be easier to digest than whole milk.
Simone Austin, advanced sports nutritionist and accredited practicing dietitian, said: “Many Australians have replaced dairy milk with plant-based alternatives over the past decade, but this is not a comparable food business.
Dairy milk is one of the best natural sources of calcium, which is important because more than half of all Australians aged two and over do not get enough calcium from food sources.
“ReMilk offers an option with the same amount of calcium as regular milk but with more protein and half the sugar, which is great for Australians looking for a less sugar option.”
