FAQ
How can this be high in fiber and sugar-free?
The high fiber likely comes from added soluble fibers like polydextrose or inulin, which are used as bulking agents and sugar replacers in low-calorie, sugar-free foods. They provide texture and sweetness without the calories or blood sugar impact of sugar.
Is it suitable for a keto diet?
It depends on the specific brand and sweeteners used. While it's very low in sugar and calories, the 11.95g of carbs per 100g (minus 7.5g fiber) leaves about 4.45g of net carbs per 100g. This may fit some keto plans in moderation, but always check the label for total and net carbs and specific sweeteners like maltitol, which can affect blood sugar.
What gives it the creamy flavor without dairy?
The 'creamy' aspect in many sugar-free pops is achieved through flavorings and sometimes the addition of small amounts of milk derivatives like whey or casein. For a dairy-free version, manufacturers use plant-based fats and natural or artificial cream flavorings.
