How would you count carbs in this?

[CandyLindTX]

Product contains vodka (near bottom of ingredient list) - how would you count it?

What is the serving size?

Vodka will very briefly lower ketones but it would be a temporary intermittent blip on the radar!

I am a stickler about grams of sugar, 4 grams per serving scares me and would go back on the shelf.

0 grams means less than a gram of sugar.

Refined sugars and high fructose saccharides (that get bound together by lectins with the unrefined sugars) are what worry me the most.

In China they can eat starchy rice and sweet things and not gain a pound (way back when?) because they eat natural unrefined sugars…until?

Is it a trick question?

3 net, 4 gross, per serving - what you count depends on whether you count net or gross or gross just for sugar or whatever schema you use.

One thing I never understood was how come the line items underneath total carbs sometimes doesn’t add up. There’s a gram of fiber and 4 grams of sugar…which equals 4 somehow?

Thank god for ZC, I must say.

I can only imagine it is due to rounding like 3.7 sugars rounds to 4, 0.7 fiber to 1 but 4.4 rounds to 4?

I would count it as zero carbs because I would not ingest. Easy!

This is Rao’s Homemade Vodka Sauce.
I can’t remember if serving was 1/4 or 1/2 cup. Probably 1/4.
Sugars are from tomatoes, not added.

EXACTLY why I asked the question! I just can’t figure out the rules for labeling.

Hey, you’re pretty good at maths! And that’s a quite plausible explanation.

Aw shucks… thanks Many years of college to do that!

Though as the space rabbit mentioned, under 1g of anything can be counted as 0 per FDA rules so my logic might not work. That said, I’d round down if it were sugar and round up if it is fiber so if the manufacturer gets a choice, then the logic still works
