[QUOTE="hanadr, post: 90997, member: 8110"] Susabella the problem is in the labelling rules. They say "carbohydrates; of which sugars". this can confuse. :? 5g of table sugar yields 2.5g glucose, 5 g of starch yields 5g of glucose. So starch has to be considered. I usualy go on "less than 10% total carbs" then consider the portion size or reject the bit I shouldn't eat. I set my rules for myself, but they might give people a starting point for their own thinking. They work pretty well for me. [/QUOTE]
