Re: oh no it says dextrose...
It's terrible, isn't it? The label can say zero so long as there is .499999... grams per serving. (If it were .55 some places would probably make the serving size smaller or add more of another ingredient to 'fill' the serving size wit a big enough percent other stuff just to get away with that 0 so we think it's healthier)~Susan

Re: oh no it says dextrose...
Avoid sugar if you can and dextrose is sugar. Sorry.
The ingredient list is far more important to scrutinize than the nutrition list.Startdate: November 18, 2007. Female 5'2"

Re: oh no it says dextrose...
I agree with the above posters. Avoid all forms of "sugar".
It's really sad how manufacturers are finding ways to put sugar in everything even our meat and poultry. HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) is one that you see alot. I'm still looking for horseradish that doesn't have hfcs.
Here's a list from my No Sweetner Challenge.
Sincerely, Sherri
Begin familiarizing yourself(if you havn't already) with reading food lables for ingrediants. Look for hidden sugars that will come in the form of-
sugar
brown sugar
sucrose
fructose
corn syrup
glucose
corn sugar
dextrose
lactose
maltose
honey
invert sugar
concentrated fruit juice
sorbitol
xyletol
mannitol
barley sugar
malt extract
malt
monosodiumglutamate (MSG)
high fructose
corn syrup
mollasses
Watch for hidden sugars in dried spices and seasoning packets if you use them. Condiments can be loaded with hidden sweetners. Also Morton Lite Salt has Dextrose in it. I use sea salt.MOTHEREARTH AKA SHERRI "HOW THE WORLD TURNS AS I SEE IT"
