Guest guest Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 I am guessing it is the corn syrup in the creamers. I made some cocoa this morning and used two bags of celestial seasonings " Bengal Tiger Chai " as sort of a base. It was so sweet it almost blew my mind. When I looked at the nutrtion listing it says zero for cabohydrates. There are dates and carob in this stuff it seems like htere should be some sugar carbs in it. At any rate it tasted good and did not crank up my junk food trigger. It will makea nice treat. > > > > I was pretty amazed to see how much less cravings for junk I have > > after I stop putting presweetened creamers in my coffee. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 For sweetness in such tea, I'd guess it might contain licorice. Dates would have sugar, but if it's a small enough amount, they can round it down to zero. Licorice tea, however, has no calories but gives a very sweet taste.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Hi folks: And I just noticed very recently that licorice is on a list of things that cause hypertension. It was in a NIH paper that Maco posted.
