The best “sweetener” out there would be first, Stevia, as it does not spike blood sugars, then the sugars that would at least not steal nutrients while being metabolized but would contribute some healthy properties, i.e., raw honey and grade B maple syrup.

Here is my response to Betty’s comment, sent by e-mail also:

I consider them putting the Sugar as 0 a trick. In their mind the corn-syrup solids are not consider a “sugar”.

I use the liquid, sugar free Coffee Mate creamers. They are sweetened with splenda and do not throw my sugar into outer space.

Good luck! Just look for anything with the corn syrup solids in it and stop eating it. Especially if that stuff is listed as the first ingredient!

Thank you for stopping by my blog

I have the same problem with the coffee creamer sending my glucose up to 200. So what DO you use? These non-dairy creamers are labeled ’0′ sugar. Why is that?

I’ve always heard that rule as well (if it’s the first ingredient, it’s a major component of the food). Ingredients must be listed in decending order, but they never tell you what the difference in amount is between each ingredient.

I was in the store yesterday and considered a store brand of something I was buying. Checked the ingredients and they were similar — except the store brand’s first ingredient was SUGAR. On the name brand sugar was lower on the list. Guess which one got put back?
