Crystal Light and 0 carbs?

[Smokescreen]

My Crystal light powder drink mix says that it has 0 carbs. But yet the ingredients do say that it contains Maltodextrin! So what does this mean? That the makers are lying about this containing 0 carbs?

How can somehting have Maltodextrin but have 0 carbs?

I agree totally. Maltodextrin is a glucose polymer (complex carbohydrate)

Don't believe everything you read

I would assume its in small enough doses in there that it doesnt equal out to 1 carb???

Than what the hell makes it sooooo sweet? And sticky if it dries up!

That's very true.... i dont understand how they would be allowed to just lie about it though and have it put on shelves... ?

Now what about sucralose and Acesulfame Potassium? Do these sweetners cause a rise in insulin?
