  • If you are following a ketogenic diet (keto), you need to restrict your daily carbohydrate intake so that your body enters ketosis.

    For most people, this means less than 50 net carbs per day.

    Net carbs are calculated by subtracting fiber from total carbs.

    Example:
    A product with 26 grams of total carbohydrates and 9 grams of fiber will have 17 grams net carbs. Math equation: 26 - 9 = 17

    IMPORTANT: Net carbs are per serving. Make sure you know your serving size or else you may go over your planned intake and exit ketosis.
  • Added sugars are sugars and syrups that are added to foods or beverages as part of their preparation. They do not include naturally occurring sugars found in milk and fruits. Table sugar and high fructose corn syrup are examples of added sugars.

    Honey and maple syrup are also "added sugars" when added to food products. Per the FDA, they are not considered added sugars when sold as single ingredient products. However, at Fooducate we still consider them added sugars because they are basically the same as table sugar in terms of nutrition.

    The American Heart Association recommends limiting the amount of added sugars you consume to no more than half of your daily discretionary calories allowance.

    For women: 100 calories (25 grams, 6 tsp per day)
    For men: 150 calories (37 grams, 9 tsp per day)

    The FDA is more "generous", the Daily Value for added sugars is 200 calories (50 grams, 12 tsp per day).

    Here at Fooducate, we suggest sticking to the stricter option (only 25 grams per day for women, 37 grams for men).
  • This includes both naturally occurring and added sugars.

    According to the USDA, every man woman and child in the US consumes approximately 80 pounds of caloric sweeteners per year!

    That works out to 25 tsp of sugars per day, or 400 extra calories!
  • The package size is small enough for people to consume as a single portion. The actual serving size and nutrition information relate to a single serving. But this package contains more than one serving. Beware!
  • Consumption of food containing trans-fat has unequivocally been shown to increase the risk of heart disease by raising levels of LDL (bad cholesterol), and lowering levels of HDL (good cholesterol).

    Why do the nutrition labels on some products say that there are no trans fats, while Fooducate insists there are?

    Unfortunately there is an FDA loop hole here. If the amount of trans-fat in a product is less than half a gram per serving, manufacturers can round it down to 0.

    But even 0.49 grams of trans-fat is bad for you. And don't even get us started on the actual consumption versus the tiny serving size.

    So how do you know if a product does have trans fat in it?

    Look for "partially hydrogenated" oils and fats in the ingredient list.

    • Good choice! No artificial colors in this according to our last product update.

      Gum, mints and candy, while you're only consuming just a little bit, can have some added elements you don't want - like artificial colors. Parents of children sensitive to artificial colors report reactions from tiny doses. Many people on special diets avoid them and others are actually allergic to them.

      And the good news is that this product has none!

    • * FoodPoints are calculated by Fooducate based on fats, carbs, fiber, and protein. They are not an endorsement or approval of the product or its manufacturer.
      The fewer points - the better.
    • This product is highly processed. If you'll take a look at its ingredient list, you'll discover new words to add to your vocabulary. Many of these ingredients are required to increase the shelf life of the product and improve the flavor that disappears when food is not fresh.
    • Companies add artificial flavors to products to make them taste better. They are created in a lab and the formulations are guarded as trade secrets.

      Flavorings can compensate for flavor loss during processing, substitute for ingredients, lower production costs and increase shelf stability.

      Artificial flavorings are cheaper to source than natural flavors and are perceived as "worse" than natural flavors. They are more stable (and usually less chemically complex) than natural flavors.

      Artificial flavors are not necessarily bad for you from a health perspective. however, people with food sensitivities or allergies may want to avoid artificial flavors if they are unnamed. You can always contact the manufacturer for more information.
    • Lecithins are oily substances that occur naturally in plants (soybeans) and animals (egg yolks). Soy lecithin possesses emulsification properties. This means it can keep a candy bar “together” by making sure that the cocoa and the cocoa butter don’t separate. It is also used in bakery items to keep the dough from sticking and to improve its ability to rise.
