Im just curious as to how must faith you guys put in the labels. Heres why Im asking- Im sure everyone has a few products that helps settle their cravings throughout the day. When I want a treat, I always go for cool whip lite. I like natty pb/cool whip lite/seven grain sandwiches. I like protein pancakes with cool whip lite on them. Shit I just love the stuff. It just bugs me that the second ingredient on the label is high fructose corn syrup, yet is supposedly has no carbs. How can that be? |

That does not make sense because corn syrup is all sugar= carbs

Very minute traces are found for sweetening. Its like when you look at artificial coffee sweeteneres they use a base of dextrose yet they have no carbs. Just look at the calories content. If there are any mystery calories, you know they are from the fructose corn syrop.

I thought they could claim zero with carbs if it is under a certain ammount? or maybe I'm thinking of gs of fat? But yes, corn syrup is carbs no matter what. Just like pipes says, check the cals, one g carb equals 4 cals

Thats the Fat free claim. If under 10% of the calories come from fat, they can claim its fat free.

thanks for the responses. I guess I have to start counting cals. When I shop I only look at fat, protein, carbs (inc. fiber/sugars). So lemme get this straight. 1g protein=4 cals, 1g carbs=4 cals, 1 g fat=9 cals... is that right?
