Does FTS Zero Sweetener taste same as xylitol

<< < (2/2)

morgan:
Don't count on zero carb anything in Australia. And look carefully at bacon
 as counts can be quite high.  I buy the no name brand of cocoa with only cocoa as the only ingredient but it still has carbs.  You have to always read labels because they can change from one week to another.  When I first bought Campbells stock it was 0.4c/250ml within 2 years it has gone up to 8c/250ml.  I contacted them when it hit 4c and they basically said new recipe, too bad.

American labelling is slacker than ours.  We have per serving and per 100g and as I understand it they have per serve and if that serve is less than 1 it is labelled as 0.  The serving may in fact be smaller than you would think.  As yet I have found no 0c cream either.

Hi Morgan,

Thanks again.  Your experience echoes mine.  I am constantly on the hunt for good low carb foods.  I am an avid label reader also.

The lowest carb cocoa I have found is Van Houten (I get this from local Foodworks supermarket).  It is 11c/100g.  I think I have also had the Homebrand (can't remember which supermarket that was) and from memory think it was about the same count as Van Houten.

I have also not found any LC cream (I use cream in coffee - wish there was an LC one available).

Wherever possible I try to stick with unprocessed foods -not an easy task.

I have purchased Doug's product ebook so will have a good look through that and may have to order stuff online from USA.
