Hi John, David and fellow sugarfree peoples, Firstly thank you John for the above table it's a great help. But I am a little confused.
I know that with anything there will be some foods that are better than others (as seen in the fruit charts etc in David's books) but I was kind of under the impression that pretty much all of the nuts were okay because of their large fibre contents and that they actually contain less sugar (and therefore fructose) that all of the fruits inn the list.... am i on the wrong track here? I am sure I read somewhere that David's fav snack was a handful of nuts... peanuts or almonds but in the list they are on the don't eat side... :(
And I kinda thought the same applied to pretty much all vegetables.... due to fibre content.... am I wrong again.... man that would be a bummer cause I am a vegie.
Also a question that I asked somewhere else on the sight was, if something has a low (3g or under per 100g) sugar content but has sugar listed in the ingredients panel is it okay to eat? I don't know what I should be doing about these products and it is making me crazy when I go shopping because at the moment I am staying away from them if there is sugar in the ingredients.... but if they are okay then yipppeeee there is more that i can eat... :) Thanks for your help tamara
