Coles Simply less Dark Chocolate
Coles simply less Dark Chocolate with Coffee Beans- 100g, 5 individually wrapped bars.
The box looks appealing to the eye. There are 4 ticks on the front which would stand out for most consumers, after all, they are true. (84 Cal/ 353 kj; 27% fat reduced; No added Sugar & NO Artificial Colours & Flavours. OR ARE THEY REALLY TRUE?This is the question you really must ask.
Many consumers would not realise that the 1st ingredient in the chocolate, Maltitol (965) is an ARTIFICIAL SWEETENER (hence the statement 'no added sugar'). This substance has caused increased incidence of tumours in animal tests- wise to avoid it. There are 3%coffee beans as stated on the label. However, I suspect that the 'natural Vanilla Flavour ' & 'natural Coffee flavour' contain a form of MSG to enhance the flavour of the chocolate. MORE than you need, not less!
Does maltitol digest as fructose or glucose
ReplyDeleteWhy do you say it is artificial? To my knowledge it is taken from wheat or starch.
I am very interested as I have recently eliminated sugar from my diet and was happy to find this product in the supermarket. However, if it is a type of fructose I will not purchase.
