mono Saccarides how does it relate to sugar

garnteg · Jan 13, 2015

I saw on diabetic ice cream that the sugar was, say 7.2 and mono saccarides, say 6.7. What is the sugar equivalent? I know substitutes like apparteme relationship but have not come across mono saccarides - not correct spelling - before.

Andbreathe - thanks for your help. I have read the report and I think I understand! It is the same as sucrose so in the example I gave the total sugar content is the two figures added so 13.9? But I wonder why the mono saccharide is quoted as if this is beneficial it is labelled diabetic ice cream.

To be honest, I side-step anything labelled diabetic. They may well have less sugar than the "normal" equivelant, but they're not necessarily sugar-free. A few months ago, I posted a pic of the label of a diabetic icecream from the supermarket:

Have you noticed the ingredient list? In Antigua, there is no requirement to list anything more detailed than this.

When we were shopping before Christmas, preparing for guests staying, I was looking at icecream in ASDA or Sainsbury's and there were a couple of "normal" brands with lower carb counts than the option labeled "Diabetic".

Madness.

This is sound advice and I will certainly approach it in that way. Thanks again for your replies.
