Sometimes they use ingredients that act like sugars in the body, but are listed as carbohydrates. Or artificial sweeteners. I have noticed with protein bars, there are usually lots of different forms of sugars in them, but a lot of the sugars will be listed as carbs, because their molecular structure makes them carbs legally.

: Hi Kathleen,

: That's really interesting about the
: sugar.

: I just recently posted about a whey
: powder I am trying.
: It has "natural vanilla and
: caramel flavor",
: and it's kind of on the sweet side
: for my taste buds (having been off
: sugar for a year and 3 months).
: Yet the 340 gram container has less
: than 1 gram of sugars --
: perplexing

: Most of all, I wonder if it's not
: advisable for someone who is off
: sugars to use this protein powder,
: or if this amount of sugar is
: negligible?

: Thanks,
: Sarit
