Is full cream sweetened condensed milk good for you?

Question
I use 'full cream sweetened condensed milk' a lot in juice and porride.  It is convenient in serving as a source of milk and as a sweetener. Someone told me that this milk is not good for my health and I am seeking an alternative.  Thanks for any recommendations that you can offer.  

Answer
Hello,

It depends on the reason why this kind of milk is not good for _your_ health.

1. If you are insulin resistant it can contain too much refined carbohydrates. See the links under the answer to learn more

about it.

2. If you are lactose intolerant your better choice can be non-lactic varieties.

3. Same is true if you should avoid saturated (bad) fats, then you might want to switch to soy-based creamers.
