Good morning. How many of you used to have the odd chocolate No Added Sugar, from Thorntons. I had some for Xmas and read the ingredients which contained Polyols which allows us type 2 's to have a treat and lovely chocolates they were. As we all know, polyols is the stuff that can cause a laxative effect if we have too much products containing it. But that is up to us how much we choose to eat, and I,m sure we all eat sensibly when it comes to our treats. I went to Thorntons yesterday. No added sugar has been removed and is now 30% less sugar and the reason for this I was told, is because the Diabetes UK have said we can have all things in moderation ( no we can't) and they asked for the polyols to be removed from the chocolates. I read the nutritional info and of course guess what, we type 2,s cannot have their chocolates any more if we are on low carbs. It reads like ordinary choc bars but with 30% less sugar. I was so infuriated when I was told it was the DB UK who made that decision. Not only do they try and kill us off with the carb laden well being plate, now we can,t have our treats. Boots were asked to remove the word Diabetic from their labels. They are now called No Added Sugar and guess what, they have Polyols in them. How long before they get told to change the recipe !! Rant over this morning. Enjoy your day folks and remember, no choccies for us from Thorntons. Go to Boots.
