When I see Sugar-Free on a packaging label, does this mean it is also low carb?
This is a common misconception. Items that say sugar-free often times have a huge amount of carbs. For example, a packet of sugar-free hot chocolate has about 15 carbs. Many SF products use substitutes that are still recognized by the body as a sugar. Maleotose, fructose, and corn syrup are just a few. Make sure to read all labels carefully and you will be okay.
