The starch in bread is processed by the body as sugars. A gram or 2 of sugar in a slice isn't changing much of anything.

I am lactose intolerant and so don't drink raw milk, but I don't have any problem buying full fat milk products. I guess restaurants might not serve full fat stuff, but stores pretty universally stock the range.

The lactose in raw and pasteurized milk is the same?
The difference in sugar content between American and European break itms way bigger then you assume. It is also super noticeable by taste.
I live in the US and shop for lower sugar breads, so I'm actually pretty well aware of how much sugar is in US breads.

Do European breads have negative sugar in them?

This is different country to country, but in places where I've lived, 'breads' don't have added sugar at all. In France that kind of bread would be called a brioche, in the Netherlands suikerbrood (sugerbread). Generally it's thought of as a pastry, not bread.
