Okay,
So on the back of food packaging in the nutrition section you often see something like this;
Carbohydrate 30.9g 38.6g (14%)
of which sugars 0.0g 0.0g (0%)
So Sugar free - No, cause their is 38.6g of Carbohydrate ?! (which if all sugar would be just under 8 teaspoons of sugar, I have been told one teaspoon near is near enough 5 grams), So do we say that; forget the sugar and go on the Carb figure, but would all the Carbs be converted into sugar, or would it be a percentage ?
Confused dont come close.
