Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings, but: - lactose is the only source of carbs in milk, so...
- I emailed Natrel last year on this very subject; it turns out it's not lactose-free in that there's no lactose in it but that they have added proprietary enzymes so that that lactose is properly broken down in the stomach by the lactose-intolerant (who lack these enzymes).
Hope this clarifies. That the milk has only 8 rather than the usual 12 or so grams is probably helpful, though.
