This is not at all true. Where do people come up with this wacky stuff? [/quote]

NP, but it's not wacky? Cream is basically just fat. It's what you whip to get butter (if you whip/churn it long enough).

Somebody hasn't been reading up on how these nutrition labels are calculated. Rules allow companies to round up or down depending on the serving size. Most products strategically select serving sizes so they can round down to one less gram of fat, sugar, or other undesirable metrics. In the case of your cream vs. milk, you are looking at something with a ONE TABLESPOON serving size vs. ONE CUP. In reality, heavy cream has about 2/3 the sugar of the milk and also significantly more calories due to the fat. (see, for example https://www.verywellfit.com/heavy-cream-nutrition-facts-and-health-benefits-5189839) In the future, keep serving size in mind when a product claims to be fat free, sugar free, etc. Pam is a great example - it claims 0 calories and 0 fat in 1/4 a second of the spray, which is the serving size. However, one second of the spray has one gram of fat. So it's a complete doctored lie [/quote]
