Yes. Sugar occurs naturally in lots of things we consume. Read the label for how many grams, and if you are diabetic, be sure to take the sugar from milk into account in your daily amount of allowed grams of sugar.

YES! The carbohydrate lactose gives milk its sweet taste and contributes about 40% of whole cow milk's calories. Lactose is a composite of TWO SIMPLE SUGARS, glucose and galactose. In nature, lactose is found only in milk and a small number of plants. Other components found in raw cow milk are living white blood cells. Mammary-gland cells, various bacteria, and a large number of active enzymes are some other components in milk.

Yes.
It's not exactly the same as table sugar. It's called lactose. But it's still sugar.
Give your husband a hug, and apologize for ever doubting him. As Robert Young, and Jane Wyatt could have told you, Father Knows Best.

It's not 'added' sugar ... the 'sugar' in milk is called 'lactose' ... it's 'milk sugar' that makes the milk taste 'slightly sweet' ... you don't need to 'worry' about the 'sugar' in your milk, and tell your husband that you now KNOW that there's sugar in milk, and ask him if he 'knows' what it's called ... if he answers 'sugar' tell him that he's wrong ... it's called LACTOSE. Sugar that we buy as sugar is 'sucrose' ... the 'sugar' in intravenous solutions is 'glucose' ... and the 'sugar' in fruit is fructose ... and now you know more than your husband about 'sugar' ...

Lactose is the sugar in milk. When reading ingredients, anything ending in -ose is a sugar, fructose, sucrose, etc.

Sugar
Sugar is another type of carbohydrate. You may also hear sugar referred to as simple or fast-acting carbohydrate. There are two main types of sugar:
naturally occurring sugars such as those in milk or fruit
added sugars such as those added during processing such as fruit canned in heavy syrup or sugar added to make a cookie
On the nutrition facts label, the number of sugar grams includes both added and natural sugars.
There are many different names for sugar. Examples of common names are table sugar, brown sugar, molasses, honey, beet sugar, cane sugar, confectioner's sugar, powdered sugar, raw sugar, turbinado, maple syrup, high-fructose corn syrup, and sugar cane syrup.
You may also see table sugar listed by its chemical name, sucrose. Fruit sugar is also known as fructose and the sugar in milk is called lactose. You can recognize other sugars on labels because their chemical names also end in "-ose." For example glucose (also called dextrose), fructose (also called levulose), lactose, and maltose.
