    Does any know whether 'Naturally Good gluten free carob buckwheat crispbread' is OK to eat? It says 'no added cane sugar' on the packet and the ingrediants listed are 'carob compound, milk solids, vegetable oil, carob powder, emulsifiers, buckwheat crispbread, bucket wheat flour, rice flour and salt. The percentage of sugar is listed as 36.2g per 100g!

    Can anyone recommend any other carob if this one is not OK?

    carob like other things is naturally sweet, and according to this http://sweetpoison.wikidot.com/carob  unfortunately it contains fructose so even though there is no added cane sugar it's still no go.

    Carob is very high in fructose and needs to be avoided.........also this crispbread contains 'vegetable oil' and that needs to be avoided too........see David's book "Toxic oil"
