A lot of companies don’t really care what they sell you.
Yep.
Diabetics, like myself, have a pretty tough time of it.
One of my pet peeves is Malitol/Maltitol - an artificial(?)
sweetener used to replace sugar. It's supposed to be safe
for diabetics to eat - problem is that it is only a few points
lower on the glycemic index scale than is white table sugar
made from sugar cane.
So it's maybe 1/2 of a percent 'healthier' for diabetics than sugar.
And therefore, by law, manufacturers can - and do - put
'SUGAR FREE' and 'SAFE FOR DIABETICS' on the labels
of their manufactured food products.
So you've got to educate yourself as a food chemist, and then
stand around in the supermarket reading food ingredient labels.
I find it rather annoying.
But hey - 'Let The Buyer Beware!'.
