Label Able: Sorbitol

Sep 09, 2009 - I'm a very picky label reader, and I won't buy anything at the grocery store unless I scan the label first. If you're the same way, you may have come across the ingredient sorbitol. It's a sugar substitute you'll often find in diet or "light" foods, in sugar-free gum, candy, and mints, and in diet drinks. - 5 Comments

Artificial Sweeteners Explained

Mar 27, 2008 - I have a huge sweet tooth and I'm not afraid to admit it.

NUUN hydration tablets make your water more palatable while loading it with electrolytes — and all this with only six calories (read "no added sugar") per 16-ounce serving. NUUN tablets dissolve in water, similar to Alka Seltzer, but NUUN tastes much better, and once the tablet has dissolved the bubbles disappear. - 8 Comments
