A cup of milk has 12 g of sugar. A cup of apple juice has 24g of sugar.
Perhaps they both have enough sugar to get the job done so it doesn't matter which you use. Or, perhaps the milk sugar is absorbed differently than the fruit sugar. I'm just guessing.
Using milk has the added benefit of including protein and calcium.
It seems that you've figured out what works for Tyler and how to help him, and that's what is most important.

Hi Umpa;
Lactose is the natural sugar in milk, just like fructose is the natural sugar in fresh fruit. More specifically, as a chemical definition, lactose is a disaccharide sugar that is formed from galactose and glucose.
Unless you are buying chocolate or flavoured milk it will not have added sugar. Production and processing rules are slightly different between USA and Canada, but plain white milk (called fluid milk) does not have anything added to it except (in Canada and most of the USA) a bit of Vitamin D because we spend so much of the year without access to Vitamin D from the sun. Milk is a pure product.
I don’t make cheese. I don’t have time. I enjoy eating the amazing variety of tastes and textures available in cheese from the store. My husband’s grandfather came from The Cheddar Gorge in England in 1920 and family legend has it that he wasted a lot of good milk over the years trying to make cheese. It’s quite an art and not something easily done in a kitchen.
I pasteurize the milk we use for the family in a 2-gallon home pasteurizer. For FTS recipes which require heavy cream I just take the cream off the top of the milk jug.

We can't order from amazon.com from Canada 
The Canadian websites that I have searched that carry these bars will only ship them to western Canada.
Here's a link to a USA company that will ship to Canada. Go to the bottom left, Customer Service, Help Section for shipping information. The shipping cost will put the price up, of course, but that's all part of living in Canada.
It sounds as if these bars could be your answer to a quick, easy, portable meal replacement.

It was Saturday 2 days ago - and now I'm back at my computer to report a loss of 1.8 pounds for a total of 58.6 pounds. Losing has been slow these last few weeks so it's great to see some encouraging results.
No outdoor exercise lately. It's been -40 degrees, which is the point where the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales cross. Doesn't matter which scale you use, it's really, really cold.

Congratulations, maddysmom. That's a thrilling accomplishment. I know that dread and anxiety - such a relief to feel "normal" and lose those worries one by one.

No choice but to go outside here - work starts at 5:30 am everyday. It's minus 30 C (minus 22 F). No leisurely strolls these days. On the up side, no pesky mosquitoes!
