I bought rice milk, thinking it would be a good
food choice (plus I can't stand the taste and texture
of soy which is high in fat grams and estrogens), but
reading the carton tonight I saw that plain rice milk
has 11 grams of Sugar in it.
Where is the Sugar coming from? The ingredients are
brown rice, oil, water and Sea Salt .
Does anyone have any information about this?

MoreThis is a reply to # 281,473I think they use brown rice syrup in it also. At least the brands I used in the past did.

This is a reply to # 281,473Rice naturally contains amylo-pectin and amylose, two sugars which evidently transform during heat processing. To put things into perspective, a can of Coke has about 39 grams of sugar.

One must also know that pectin is very good for the liver and intestine. This is why we often say that a Granny Smith apple a day is not big cheat: because apples contain pectin- and Granny Smith are not so sweet.
So I assumet amylo -pectin must have pectin's property. Which is to say that it is not such a bad sugar.
But still sugar, yes.
