It contains HFCS...But, it can't be more than a 1g. Bare minimum Lactose I've been able to make LC Ice Cream with is 3g...and that was with a a very high Fat content [lots of Heavy Cream.] Since Breyers has a normal amount of fat, they had to have rely more on Milk.



It's not just about the carb amount htough, but the GI factor.
Having the ingredients list HFCS as the third ingredient after milk and cream means it makes up a fair portion of the product. Milk is also the first ingredient, so that is what it is mostly comprised of. I think I'd prefer to spend lactose carbs on yogurt or cream. Even when I up my carbs to 50 next week, I can spend 15 of those on something healthier then icecream. With lower carb brands out there, and brands with no added sugar, I don't think I'll go for one that dumps sugar in.
