Are there any artificial sweeteners in this product? This product sounds great but some family members are sensitive to artificial sweeteners.

I am not sure, but I can't reccomend them because they taste awful. I personally like Cliff Bars for taste, but don't think they are the healthy alternative they are touted to be.

they have tapioca syrup and brown rice syrup for sweetness. Also, it has sugar glycols, which is a solvent and carrier of flavor or color in the food and beverage manufacturing processes, to make thinkthin bars. Avoid if family members have sensitivityac to flavors.

This does not have any artificial sweetners in is, but does contain Maltitol, a sugar alcohol.

I suppose it is a matter of taste; I prefer the taste of the natural unsweetened to that of the special dark. I add my own artificial sweetener to avoid sugar. Try a can of both and see which you prefer before you order a large quantity, then place an order for the one you prefer.

It's unflavored so there's no sweetener in it at all. Also, Stevia is not artificial, it's a plant. Easy to confuse, but 'sugar substitute' and 'artificial sweetener' are not always the same. There are alternatives to sugar that are natural such as stevia and xylitol. The artificial ones are man-made like aspartame and saccharin. It's moot for this product though b/c none of those are in it! Sweeten with fruit, milk or whatever you like!

If you read the label very carefully, as I read all labels, you will find absolutely no sugar in this product. I've been taking it for years now and am a certified fitness trainer almost in my 80's and feel fabulous. Anytime there is going to be any kind of fruits in a product there will be a natural form, but no synthetics in this product. Hope this helps.

I don't think it does but I have used artificial sweeteners all my life. My husband can taste it in foods but he is overly sensitive to sweets anyway. I'ts definitely worth trying at least one box. I have found it to be the best stevia sweetener on the market. Most brands that are so called "stevia" do not compare as far as ingredients or quality.

Hi There, Yes, this is lemon flavored sweetened with Xylitol (at least mine was). The company has a variety of flavors. I saw the ladies who crafted these and wanted to give them a try. I thought they were quite tasty and I have since tried a couple of other flavors. I thought they were all good. I think the are a tasty treat if your sweet tooth is acting up. They come in a nice tin with broken pieces of candy in them. I also like the tins and re-use them for other things, such as making my own organic lip balm w/essential oils etc. I do like the flavors so far. Give them a try, you might like them! You may also enjoy hearing about their inventive spirit and story. I hope this was helpful. Enjoy! Hi There, Yes, this is lemon flavored sweetened with Xylitol (at least mine was).

If you check the labels on Splenda or Equal or other Stevia brands you'll find that all the good-tasting artificial sweeteners include a tiny amount of sugar in some form or another. You avoid much larger intake of sugar using these sweeteners over sugar or honey, but it doesn't drop down to 0.I have no problem with that.

The nutrition label states 2g of sugars per 23g serving (two scoops) however these are apparently naturally occurring sugars rather than added. These are the only carbohydrates measured according to the label. It specifically shows no artificial sweeteners or flavors, but no explicit claim is made regarding there being no added sugar. I can tell you that the product is not noticeably sweet.

I too was a little worried about the sugar content. I have been using coconut water instead of the sugar water mix and it is much less sweet. I do alternate between the two as the grains really feed better on the sugar. My grains have been multiplying like crazy so they must be happy!

Well...yes it's candy! All candy has some kind of sugar, so moderation is the key. The sugar free brand of any candy or food product can have side effects. I don't think young children should ever have artificial sweeteners! So limit your sugar intake. They do have a nice flavor.

It contains acesulfame which is an artificial sweetener. However, the amount is very small; I am sensitive to it, and I am not able to taste it.

It's supposed to be all natural, that's what they state on product description too : "No artificial flavors or sweeteners". I would double check with them though, just to play safe.

I have not found there to be one. I really enjoy it. I do use only 1/3 of a packet and not a whole packet as I have with other sweeteners.

Sorry Jessica. I haven't had it for awhile and don't have any in the house to check, so I don't know if it has artificial sweeteners or not. You may try to find it on another website that will give you the nutritional information/ingredients. Good luck.

I buy the regular hot chocolate not the diet which does have artificial sweetners. The other respondents have listed the ingrediants. You can check the other varieties in the supermarket.

Andriyev has a point. Protein amount, sugar amount, and calories are listed in the only image of the product. One is unable to view the remaining ingredients, as is the case with some products on various websites when the product image is clicked on. I would appreciate this as well as some of the ingredients listed on the actual package are not very desirable. Stevia would most certainly be a better sweetener choice than sugar and sugar alcohol.
