Keto: net carbs 10g

If you are following a ketogenic diet (keto), you need to restrict your daily carbohydrate intake so that your body enters ketosis.

For most people, this means less than 50 net carbs per day.

Net carbs are calculated by subtracting fiber from total carbs.

Example:
A product with 26 grams of total carbohydrates and 9 grams of fiber will have 17 grams net carbs. Math equation: 26 - 9 = 17

IMPORTANT: Net carbs are per serving. Make sure you know your serving size or else you may go over your planned intake and exit ketosis.
2.5 tsp of added sugars per serving

Added sugars are sugars and syrups that are added to foods or beverages as part of their preparation. They do not include naturally occurring sugars found in milk and fruits. Table sugar and high fructose corn syrup are examples of added sugars.

Honey and maple syrup are also "added sugars" when added to food products. Per the FDA, they are not considered added sugars when sold as single ingredient products. However, at Fooducate we still consider them added sugars because they are basically the same as table sugar in terms of nutrition.

The American Heart Association recommends limiting the amount of added sugars you consume to no more than half of your daily discretionary calories allowance.

For women: 100 calories (25 grams, 6 tsp per day)
For men: 150 calories (37 grams, 9 tsp per day)

The FDA is more "generous", the Daily Value for added sugars is 200 calories (50 grams, 12 tsp per day).

Here at Fooducate, we suggest sticking to the stricter option (only 25 grams per day for women, 37 grams for men).
Could You Halve Your Added Sugar Intake?
2.5 tsp of sugars per serving

This includes both naturally occurring and added sugars.

According to the USDA, every man woman and child in the US consumes approximately 80 pounds of caloric sweeteners per year!

That works out to 25 tsp of sugars per day, or 400 extra calories!

Bottled teas have almost NO antioxidants

Bottled tea is not a good source of antioxidants.

The antioxidants in tea give it a bitter taste. In order to make bottled tea more palatable, it is watered down. Additionally, there is a continuous reduction in antioxidant levels from the time when tea is brewed until it reaches the supermarket shelf. This means not a lot of antioxidants are left over by the time you drink your tea.

Save your money and improve your health by brewing at home.
