I think not because it could be sweetened with somrthing else,,, like nutrasweet or some other product.

I think unsweetened & no sugar added is the same thing. That being said , things could still have natural sugars in them like can fruit. No sugar would be called sugar free.< /p>

I could be wrong but thats how I undetstood it.

Yes, I agree with Mis73. If up until now you have not been a nutritional label reader, now is a great time to get into the habit. You will be surprised what you sometimes discover about what's in the package.

There are hidden carbs and increased levels of sodium in many processed foods. As part of my healthier eating habits, I try to stay away from processed foods, as the additives read like a chemistry book.

Fresh fruit, fresh veggies, and basic lean Proteins are my focus. I only shop the periphery of the grocery store, in the produce, dairy and meat sections, skipping the bakery. That way I know what I'm eating...

No sugar added is definitely better than sugar added but there is often still carbs and some sort of sugar in the product. For example, I am drinking Carnation Instant Breakfast - no sugar added. It is much less calories than the regular but still has carbs and 70 calories per packet (I believe). It is a good alternative just have to know there are still calories and carbs in it.

No sugar added means they did'nt add any. As previously mentioned an ingredient may intrinsically have sugar. fruit at the bottom of my 0% fat Greek yogurt contains natural sugar. Personally not worried about that. Considering I used to eat half a bag of mini Dove bars in one setting.

And sometimes they don't consider fructose or corn Syrup as sugar and we all know it's sugar by another name.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
