I think many of us have discovered that sugar free does not mean carb free. And ice cream or yogurt that is made from milk (as opposed to cream) starts off with like 12g of carbs per cup just from the milk. Adding sugar just makes it worse. And the other thing that you have to be careful about is the subtle lie. Sugar free is applied to foods that still contain sugar alcohols. And while some sugar alcohols don't cause much of a blood sugar rise, others are almost as bad as sugar. So it is important to read nutrition and ingredient labels carefully. You can't just trust product claims. And sometimes, even the nutrition label can be deceptive, not properly counting the carbs or having unreasonably small serving sizes.
