Hi Rose

I noticed that the ingredients say...

Ingredients: Cocoa mass & cocoa butter (70% cocoa solids), polydextrose (15.4%, soluble dietary fibre), erythritol, soy lecithin, vanilla flavour, sweetener (sucralose).

I would be interested to hear what David has to say in regards to the two sweeteners - erythritol and sucralose - which he has as up to us in his sugars chart. Maybe if it's a once in a blue moon treat then it won't be so bad?

I have seen them in woolies but as yet haven't bought them cause I think if I start I won't stop :P

Yep that's true.. i wonder what Dave would say although he'd probably say a one in a blue moon treat. ;)

Another option is the Lindt dark chocolate at 75% or 80% cacao i think, the 75% has 28g of sugar per 100g bar so if you ate a small square of that when you were really craving chocolate and made the 100g bar last you five days or so it wouldn't interfere with the fructose free diet. IT depends on willpower though ;)

If you have to have chocolate, eat only the 85% dark lindt (14gm sugar - so 7gm fructose for the 100gm block) or, even better, Green and Blacks organic 85% dark chocolate (12gm sugar - 6gm fructose for the 100gm block). Green/Blacks is very smooth and because both are so dark, you only need a little. In my previous life I couldn't touch the stuff - far too bitter. But these days I can't eat the other, sweeter chocolate but do like a little of this occasionally when I feel like something really chocolatey.

Cheers - Janet.

I think the polydextrose is also a problem?

Yor are correct Mary, polydextrose is not allowed, according to David Polydextrose is allowed by the food manufacturers to be called a fibre instead of a sugar, data in the Sweet Poison Quit Plan book
