Using a low carbohydrate or "no sugar added" product means that: the product is totally calorie free. some of the sugar may have been replaced with fat which is higher in calories. you can substitute it for fruits and vegetables. none of the above

OpenStudy (surryyy):

"Sugar free" generally means low calorie product.

Got it?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

I am quoting WHO's definition for sugar free, "Free sugar is defined by the World Health Organization and the US Food and Agriculture Organization in multiple reports as "all monosaccharides and disaccharides added to foods by the manufacturer, cook, or consumer, plus sugars naturally present in honey, syrups, and fruit juices". It is used to distinguish between the sugars that are naturally present in fully unrefined carbohydrates such as brown rice, wholewheat pasta, fruit, etc. and those sugars (or carbohydrates) that have been, to some extent, refined (normally by humans but sometimes by animals, such as the free sugars present in honey). They are referred to as "sugars" since they cover multiple chemical forms, including sucrose, glucose, fructose, dextrose, etc."
