[QUOTE="Yorksman, post: 561604, member: 55568"] I agree it is practically useless. It assumes that people know that if it is zero cal, the carbs must be nondigestible. But, on some of these products, there is a mix of different types of carbs that make things taste sweet and they all work in different ways. I have never really thought about the implications for those who need to inject insulin. I can't see that the situation will be improved by this new 'traffic lights' system either. As usual, we have to get ourselves informed about what is important to us whilst others get paid for ensuring we are informed about the things that they think are important. It does highlight the dangers though of manufacturing synthetic food additives, for thats what they are, modified at the molecular level but providing the user with no indication or guidance. You can't even get away with doing that for an asprin. [/QUOTE]
