Milk products have natural milk sugar so yes, there can be more than 1g carb listed in the sugar catagory, usually 11-16. The key is to look at the INGREDIENTS list to look for an added sugar. If NO added sugar, then the sugar content is natural milk sugar.

Only heard of ONE yogurt type product that has 4 carbs per serving.

I have lived by large salt water bodies for most of life so never felt I needed the extra iodine in salt. For that reason I used to buy pickling salt, which is usually on the same shelf as the table salt at the market. It doesn't have (that is: it didn't have. Who knows now?) anything extra, so as not to cloud the pickles. Now I get RealSalt from Utah.

OP, try Oregon Chai Concentrate - Sugar Free . It's widely available - or you could order it on the web. DaVinci also makes a Chai SF concentrate that is shelf-stable. I like both of 'em.

Having trouble finding Heinz 1 carb ketchup in stores here, though. Might order it online.

Do you have Safeway where you are. It's called Randall's where I am and they have the no sugar added catsup. They may be using other names in different areas.

Thanks! But avoiding sucralose, too. My taste buds have gotten very sugar sensitive, which is a good thing 😀

Just have to boil my own and keep it in the fridge. I will not go chai-less!

Of course you're right.

Some brands of dill pickles have sugar in them. Savory items have to be scrutinized for sugar.

It happened again in a stunning way.

DH is clamping down on his bread and carbs again (his chronic illness makes it tough for him, and we are saving up for some dental work he needs, too) and so when he asked for apples, I suggested peanut butter, since I knew that was a snack he used to enjoy.

There is no more peanut butter.

Oh, I found some in the "health food" section but every national peanut butter brand is now "peanut butter spread" and it's only 90% peanuts. Guess what the other 10% is. JUST GUESS.

I haven't bought peanut butter in years, but when I did I got mine at Trader Joe's. At the time they had no added sugar, but I don't know about now. My major objection was that it came in plastic jars, but I imagine they all do now. :-)

I know I know! Hydrogenated oil.

Okay, that and sugar.

That's really sad. Here in Canada, I can find 100% peanuts PB at any grocery store, even the discount ones. They have their own generic brands, too, you're not just paying for Adam$.

*shakes head sadly*

Smuckers Natural doesn't have sugar unless it's the honey or the reduced fat one.

I found one that has two ingedients, peanuts and salt, thanks all.

Just astonishing. It’s cheaper than real food AND an addictive sunstance. That’s why.

TJ's sells peanut butter made with organic Valencia peanuts and sea salt or jars with no salt. This is what I eat when I indulge, but I have to strictly limit my indulgences and monitor quantity, as peanut butter is too easy for me to overeat.
