How much sugar is in my UHT Milk?

Amanda Packer  Follow

No, that is incorrect. Liters are a measure of volume but grams are a measure of weight, so you need to convert 1 liter of milk to the weight of 1 liter of milk. (Your calculations would be correct for water, by the way.)

Milk is an organic product so some variation is going to exist, but 1 liter of whole milk weighs approximately 1031 grams.

From that point forward the rest of your calculations are correct:

1031 grams x .028 = 28.8 grams of sugar per liter of milk

If 100 ml is one serving, then each serving contains 2.88 grams of sugar.

In other words, you were low by about 1 gram.
