Sbryantp8 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 In the book it said canned artichokes were ok but the can says 0sugars. If I'm not mistaken even if it says that 0 sugars on the label counts as a no go as well right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcbn Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Ignore the nutrition label. What does it say on the ingredient list? That's the important one here.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sbryantp8 Posted November 9, 2016 Author Share Posted November 9, 2016 I'm still conflicted because the book said watch the labels and that even if it says 0grams sugar that means there is still point something of sugar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slc_melissa Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 All fruits and vegetables have naturally occurring sugars. The whole30 program is concerned with added sugars and sweeteners, and the ingredient list is king. I believe US labeling laws allow a label to say 0g of something if the actual total is less than 0.5g. I may be wrong, but that seems to be the rule for fat. Fda labeling. So, in reality, ignore the values on the nutrition label. A product could have 12g of sugar, but the ingredient list is only tomatoes. This product is compliant. A product could have 0g of sugar, but the ingredient list is chicken, honey. This product is not compliant. Like the moderator said above, ignore the nutrition label.
