    Zero Grams of Sugar Equal Zero Transparency? Have you ever seen a beverage with “0g sugar” on the label and thought, “That sounds too good to be true”? Well, for many consumers, it is too good to be true. Here’s the issue: While some brands proudly showcase their "0g sugar" claims, they don’t have to disclose exactly how much highly processed sweetener—like stevia or monk fruit extract—is in the recipe. You may be wondering: What’s the big deal with that? Here’s why it matters: Consumers are misled into thinking “0g sugar” means no sweeteners at all, but in reality, they’re drinking beverages with undisclosed amounts of processed sweeteners. The exact quantity? That stays hidden. Meanwhile, brands that use natural sweeteners like agave are required to be fully transparent, listing every gram of sugar used. So why the double standard? Zero grams of sugar should never mean zero transparency. People deserve to know exactly what they’re putting into their bodies, yet the current labeling rules make that nearly impossible. And here’s the kicker: Most consumers have no idea they’re being kept in the dark. As the founder of Moneta, a company built on honesty and natural ingredients, I refuse to let these misleading practices go unchecked. That’s why we proudly display that our drinks contain 7 grams of all-natural agave—because when it comes to what you drink, transparency should always come first. If brands are confident in their ingredients, why keep them hidden? It’s time to demand honesty in labeling, so consumers can make truly informed choices. Please like and share if you’re ready to bring some transparency to all these full-of-shit products. Consumers deserve better. #ZeroTransparency #NoMoreBS #TruthInLabeling

    Interesting publication finding that sugar reduction doesn't necessarily mean calorie reduction - and when sugar comes out, additives like artificial sweeteners come in. #SweetenerTransparency

    ?? New publication alert! CSI's team of dietitians and nutrition scientists collaborated with academic experts to review breakfast cereals and baked goods with sugars claims available in the Canadian market to understand use of replacement ingredients and changes in calories and macronutrients. Key Findings: ?? Despite sugars reduction, there was no significant difference in calories between claim products and their non-reformulated counterparts. ?? Sugars were often replaced with sugar alcohols, fibres, and starches, which still contribute calories. Key Takeaways: ?? Sugars claims may potentially be misleading as many consumers expect these products to be lower in Calories. ?? Providing consumer education can help individuals understand potential unintended consequences of common sugar replacement ingredients and make informed food choices based on their needs and preferences. Thank you to co-authors Abigail Clarke, Jessica Yu, RD, MPH, Anita Chung, MPH, RD, Zhongqi Fan. MS. RD., Professor Julian Cooper, and David Kitts for collaborating on this analysis.
