The reason I mentioned this is that a lot of people forget that milk has that much sugar and most don't account for it.....obviously an issue if someone is diabetic, and if someone is a specific amount of calories via carbs, I would prefer to see them be downing more complex carbs.

Of course, eating late at night is only "okay," again, if all the important variables are in check. Majority of people aren't "okay."
One reason to avoid sugary foods at this hour though is due to "trigger" foods. Sugary foods tend to lead to binging due to various psychological and physiological reasons, especially when consumed at night, which is, in general, a "relaxation time" for most. |
I will try to pick up dig up some study information on this as well......
