Milk
Rating: depends on portion · Trigger subgroup: Lactose
At a 19 g portion: green light
Lights per subgroup
- Fructans 0 g · green light
- GOS 0 g · green light
- Excess fructose 0 g · green light
- Lactose 0.96 g · green light
- Sorbitol 0 g · green light
- Mannitol 0 g · green light
fructans and GOS are evaluated together (oligosaccharide sum) · sorbitol and mannitol are evaluated individually and combined — the worse result wins
Green boundaries come from the scientific sources; the amber (1–2× the cutoff) and red (>2×) bands are an app estimate.
