[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 1443507, member: 374531"] They're more or less halving the carb content in some of them from this month. Not sure how long it will take new bottles to start showing up in shops. But which ones? Had a sketch at their website: [URL]https://www.lrsuntory.com/our-brands/lucozade-energy/[/URL] On that page, Lucozade Energy Pink Lemonade flavour, is the same as the bottle I've got in the house just now, 9.7 g of carbs of which 6.8 is sugars, per 100 ml. But, switch to Lucozade Energy Original flavour: it says 8.9 carbs of which 4.6 sugars per 100 ml. I don't have any Original bottles in the house just now to compare, but my recollection is it was about 17g per 100ml? So, looks like they've left the Pink Lemonade the same but almost halfed the Original. Bizarre that the "of which sugars" bit is now higher in the Pink Lemonade one than the original! So, I guess if you use Original, you'll have to take twice as much to get the same amount of carbs. The page says Lucozade also make Ribena, don't know if they're changing that.GuessI'llbe paying even more attention to labels over the next few months! [/QUOTE]
