[QUOTE="Brodiebear, post: 1157202, member: 101528"] Okay, So on the back of food packaging in the nutrition section you often see something like this; [B]Carbohydrate[/B] 30.9g 38.6g (14%) [B]of which sugars[/B] 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. Steve [/QUOTE]
