Between meals and before bed, when nutritional support won't be available for a while, casein protein can help provide longer lasting amino acid support. Casein proteins are pH sensitive and gel in the acidic environment of the stomach. As a result, it can take longer for caseins to be broken-down into their amino acid subcomponents than whey and other proteins. Because of their unique slow-digesting qualities, caseins are described as anti-catabolic or muscle-protecting proteins.

It says no added sugar. However, rice is glycemic. If you must be on a non-glycemic diet I suppose this wouldn't be for you. My interpretation of "no added sugar" is exactly that, none was added to the natural sugar contained in the rice, as opposed to sweeten the protein with sugar, honey, syrup or what have you.

I no longer have the packaging so can't answer that question. I do know the sugars are sugar alcohols. There are some who think these are safe and others who think they are as dangerous as refined sugar, especially for diabetics.

No added sugar. Lol, definitely not sweet tasting. I have severe food and food preservatives allergies and I use this daily in my lunch smoothie with fruit, organic black seed, organic wheat grass and cranberry juice. Very healthy.

It says "no added sugar" and on the nutrition label it says the sugar content is 5g.

Sugar is the second ingredient after coconut, so I am going to say it's not naturally present. :)

I think its raw. Iam diabetic and I take atea spoon before each meal and it does not affect my blood sugar the next morning when I check it.

Look again. If it is sugar-free it must say so on the package. Or call the 1-800 number somewhere on the package or find one for the company online by going on Google.

No, they are not sugar free. Sometimes eating sugar free products is not good for you. I am diabetic so I am careful on how many I eat. My doctor told me that sugar free is not good and just eat the real sugar products but be careful.

A lot of confusion here among people who do not read labels or do not understand them. It is rice PROTEIN, not rice. No rice carbohydrate. Thus, not only no "added" sugar, no sugar at all, unless you consider ONE GRAM or less to be "glycemic".

You are right to be suspicious. Sadly, this product is no longer low-carb -- it just has more protein and fiber added. It has 19 total carbs and 16 net carbs. I don't really see much of a benefit here compared to other cereals that are low in sugar. The added protein, fiber and lack of sugar may help some people like diabetics have a somewhat more regular blood sugar and feel full for longer. Also, this cereal is relatively inexpensive and easily found in local grocery stores. But on the other hand, anyone who is helped by this cereal would probably be helped even more by other cereals that are truly low in carb, with more protein and fiber and less grain, gluten, etc. There are a fair number of other truly low-carb cereals (I recommend "Hi-Lo" or Dixie Diner) that are healthier and taste better, though you would probably need to order them online such as through Amazon, and they tend to be a little to a lot more expensive. Hi-Lo is only 1 to 2 dollars more, Dixie Diner a bit more.

I actually didn't take the pills except for a couple of them whuch made me very ill.I suggest going on a low carb and low sugar diet. Rather than this stuff. I honestly am scared to know people are taking this poison. When I took it one hour before a meal it made me more hungry than ever.adding fiber will give you the same fullness and it is natural.

No, it is not sugar free... just much lower on the glycemic index. It contains more minerals and nutrients than table sugar and is more naturally made. It's about on par with honey. As with all sugars, use sparingly.

I am not in the medical field, so I can only say what sounds right to me. If not diabetic, but just trying to see how your body is handling sugar, I would suggest first thing in the morning and bed time. Other than that you might like to try 1 hr. after a meal to see how your body is handling it. I believe it should take 1 hr. to peak and 2 hr. for your glucose level to be back to normal. Again, I am not a nurse or Dr. so this just comes from personal experience.
