"Sugar Free" = FALSE ADVERTISEMENT
I naively (apparently) bought this, thinking 'hey, I like the original let's give the zero sugar option a try". WRONG.
How can a company advertise a product as "sugar free" if even the label says their is sugar in it!?!
The "sugar free" version is false in so many ways.
First, the sugar in the "sugar free" version is only 1 g. Compared to the original version's 2g.
Second, the "sugar free" version is almost twice such and the original.
Third, the type of sugar in each is even different!
ORIGINAL VERSION
Total Sugar: 2 g
Added Sugar: 2 g
Sugar Alcohol: 0 g
"SUGAR FREE" VERSION
Total Sugar: 1 g
Added Sugar: 0 g
Sugar Alcohol: 1 g
In the original version there are 2 g of added sugars, where the "sugar free" version has sugar alcohol, a type of sugar found in processed foods, which is still an added sugar but put under a different category to seem natural (even though it is not).
If the makers really wanted to make a sugar free version, why can't they just stop ✋ 🚫 adding sugar to their products.
Paying almost double for something with 1 less gram of sugar, that is falsely advertised as a "sugar free" alternative is why I have trust issues.
