Well, if she was truly banned they aren't likely going to allow her back with a new account once they become aware of it. But I'm just guessing, it's hard to know why people are missing.

IMO there is at least one hanging around right now trying to set off dissension. Sometimes it takes a little while before their agenda becomes obvious. Then they disappear and return under a different user name and try it again. Some people don't have much of a life apparently but that's what trolls are all about.

burnt's posts have disappear for me too - no connection to the above comments,

Burnt is invisible to me. Can't see her posts you're replying to. Weird...
That happened a few weeks ago with Needs posts

Yes, plus report their comments and hope for the best.

I think that the only thing to do if you think someone is a troll is not to respond to them.

Hmmmm. Burnt seems to have gone dark again. I sent an email to Ashely asking what was going on.

There have always been people who are banned from the forum, that's nothing new, but the three strikes and you're out is. The problem from a user perspective has always been inconsistency, some people and threads have gotten pretty outrageous and nothing has been done. And people shouldn't have to be afraid of calling out an obvious t-r-oh-double-ell either (yeah, I don't want to chance to even writing the word)

This banning policy is very off putting. We're not children needing disciplines handed out by parents.

I guess this will turn off and turn away members.

Burnt, I believe if you'd been "banned" you would have been notified by AC and you would be able to sign back in after the ban was lifted.

Did you contact Ashley to report that you couldn't log in?

So you were banned, it wasn't a glitch?

Glad to see you back Burnt, by any name! Sorry you got locked out. Not the first time that's happened on AC.

My dear little virus laden kiddies sent me home with a present - I got a sore throat over night and have been napping on and off all day (sigh) 🤒😷
I took a RAT just because I still have some and they will be expiring anyway but it come up negative, so as far as I know I've still not had that 🤷🏻‍♀️

My 33 and 26 year old still put Hershey’s syrup in their milk sometimes .

Dairy is strictly controlled here, I've never heard of adding sugar to plain white milk.

Not all low-fat or fat free milks have added sugar - the half gallons and gallons purchased at the grocery store may not. I was surprised to realize the milk at McDs had corn syrup added to it. I noticed the nutritional info print on the side of the carton one day and saw the calories seemed too high for 8 oz of milk and wondered why. Then I saw the same thing in the milk at the schools and then looked at the milk individual servings targeted at children available at the grocery store - and found many of them had added sugars! Then the craze over almond milk came in and found most of them have added sugar too. So now I carefully read the labels, especially since discovering the salt in many common foods (that we don't necessarily consider salty) are very high and pushes my blood pressure up.

I add Hershey's syrup to whole milk to make the chocolate milk my grand-nephew loves and it still has fewer carlories than the 2% chocolate milk served with happy meals or at his school.

I put my glasses on . Lol. My milk ingredients are …low-fat milk,
vitamin A, vitamin D. So I guess no added sugar .

Ah that makes sense Barb, I wasn't thinking of the change in volume. But even so the differences are small unless you are consuming a lot of milk, IMO it's not plain milk that is causing childhood obesity.

CW, because the fat is removed, the percentage of lactose will increase in non-fat milk--it's the proportion of lactose, not the absolute amount.

Report

It's been a long time since I studied food composition but as far as I can remember the lactose content shouldn't change between skim, 2% and whole milk, the difference there is in the amount of butterfat (0%, 2% and 3.25%). Scientific names for sugars end with "ose", and lactose is naturally occurring milk sugar just as fructose, glucose and sucrose occur naturally in fruits and veggies, and maltose in grains. The two most common flavoured milks I'm aware of are chocolate and strawberry, and both have added sugar (sucrose).
I've recently learned that most african and asian people are lactose intolerant because they lack a gene that allows northern europeans to digest milk past infancy - I think perhaps the controversies around milk may be attributable to north america becoming more racially diverse.

My skim milk has no added sugar. It says so explicitly.

My 1% milk at home has 110 calories per serving. I’ll have to compare them when I go shopping. It’s interesting . It’s also interesting since DH has diabetes . I
don’t like whole milk . Too thick . I prefer skim but we compromise . Thanks .

Way2Tired, whole milk does contain sugars, usually about 11g compared to plain 2% milk at 12g but with 30 less calories. Many brands add sugars to their non-fat or reduced fat milk products. You can usually tell when the calories go up. In the lunchroom the whole milk had 50 FEWER calories than the non-fat stuff the Obama administration supported. I would rather the kids have the milk with all the fat soluble vitamins God intended than the corn syrup added non-fat stuff. Several studies indicate the fat in certain foods (including milk) make them more filling and result in fewer total calories being eaten. I think the fat kids problem 20% of kids have is more about the time spent sitting watching videos or playing game systems and consuming more fast food than the extra calories they take in home cooked food or milk products (my home fried chicken breast and mashed potatoes has fewer calories and salt than fast food nuggets and fries). Don't cut down on recess or gym time! The kids at my house are expected to be doing something outside when the weather is nice. Play the game systems when its cold or dark or raining - after your homework is done.
