Heavy cream vs. Half and Half

[Rae-Marie]

I was looking at the nutrition info between the two and noticed CREAM is based of ONE TBSP and HALF&HALF is based on TWO TBSP.

With that in mind, is there any reason I can't use Half and Half vs. Cream?

TBSP vs. TBSP, they are about the same.

The only reason I ask is I can get half and half a LOT CHEAPER!

Thanks

can you handle the lactose in the 1/2 and 1/2? if so it is acceptable

I have tried to find the lactose level betwwen Cream and Half&Half, it seems to be about the same... Have you seen where Half and Half is higher???

Low Lactose Foods (0-3 grams)

Sherbet - ½ cup
Aged cheese (swiss, cheddar) - 1-2 ounces
Processed cheese - 1 ounce
Cottage cheese - ½ cup
Sour cream - 2 tbsp
Whipped cream - 1 tbsp
Half & half - 1 tbsp
Butter - 1 tsp

cream has 7 carbs per cup milk has 11 so 1/2 and 1/2 would have 9 there is the extra lactose. if your body can handle it then have it as it is legal per DANDR

I should be fine, especially only using a small amount each day. Thanks!
