Hi, I just noticed the coconut sugar in Huel BE. Was that always there? I don’t remember it.
Looking at the nutritional info, it shows 17g of carbs and 4g which sugars (for chocolate). Do I use that 4g to calculate sugar intake (borderline diabetic here).
yes it has always been there and works out at about a level teaspoon per 400 calories - it has an average GI rating of 50, so essentially the same as white table sugar.
As Phil said, we’ve always used a little coconut sugar in Black Edition. Please rest assured the overall glycaemic index of Black Edition is just 19, so the sugar doesn’t have a significant impact on blood sugar spikes.
