But................I had another look at the nutrition panel on my desicated coconut packet and saw 6% sugar on that, and the ingredients were only coconut and preservative.
So I re Googled it and had another look, under the .5gram Fructose, I saw 5% sucrose which is, of course, table sugar, except there isn't any added sugar. So, I am assuming that coconut has sugar as part of its make up and I do notice they make coconut sugar from coconut.
But David uses coconut in the recipe section of the Quit plan. I am supposing that as it's only a small part of these recipes that it doesn't matter too much.
On the other hand, I made Sarah Wilson's coconut balls and did put on some weight after eating them and as they are 90% coconut and coconut oil, it must be that this concentration of coconut is not a good thing....................for my body anyway. I didn't use any sweetener at all in them, not Stevia nor dextrose nor Rice malt syrup, so it must have been the coconut.............................Sigh.
cheers Freda.
