Lactose is a form of sugar, but in terms of how our body manages it, it is all good sugar, so no problem with unflavored milk. The only "bad" sugar in milk is when we add flavoring (eg; chocolate milkshake). When we talk about sugar and the harmful effects it has on our health, it is the Fructose component of sugar that is the problem. There are quite a few "sugars" which are fructose free and milk (in fact virtually all unflavored dairy products) are fructose free.
