Discovering that your ''sugar free'' gum and sweets contain carbs you had no clue about GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
 

I killed an entire nest last year .... under my house ..... even got one trying to fly back to the nest with the powder that I sprayed straight in his face. We hate them. Dangerous in the extreme.
 
Ooh, nasty.....

They may not be "available" carbs tho. Sugar substitutes with no calories are often quite high in carbs. One of the packs I looked at today actually said it was 100% carbs only 43 were "available" so your body can't/doesn't use it hth x

Thanks for that....I use Nicotinell sugar free gum cos I quit smoking and find a Werthers sugar free sweet can take the edge off hunger ...relieved to know they may not be as bad as I feared.

They often contain sorbitol too. A laxative!

Ohhhh I wish that part worked for me.....I just don't seem to go to the loo anymore...there doesn't seem to be any ''waste'' at all. I don't feel uncomfy or anything...I just don't go these days....once a week if I am lucky ..so not sure what's going on ?

Just seen those sweets advertised recently....are they as good as originals?
And am sooooooooo pleaded you've quit smoking. My kids dad died at 56 from smoking related lung cancer....every person who tell me they've stopped makes me feel so happy
 
Well in manufacturing they say "**** in; **** out" so I guess you're not eating "****" anymore just the good stuff ....

Yes they are every bit as yummy as the originals...I buy the little boxes of them from Morrisons....one box lasts me easily a week...not sure how many is in it but it only weighs 42g....I have just a couple a day when I crave something sweet or am a little hungry. They seem to take the edge off hunger which stops me nibbling and snacking. I quit smoking after 44 years and it is the single best thing I ever did. Almost 8 months now and going strong.

It's quite cathartic to write it all down and get it off your chest especially when I'm being nosy and wondering what's up and what you just reported
