meal shakes like Boost or Life brand - Big errors

Hi,
I often used various fast shakes like a Boost or Life Brand when in a real hurry or, on occasion, just lazy. When I added them to my food diary, the database listing showed 0 mg of sugar for almost all of them. The first three ingredients listed on all of these is water, sugar, glucose. So obviously 0 is not the correct answer.
I did a little bit of digging and got a more realistic amount as 27 or 28mg for each one of them.

There are way too many of these listed in the database for me to change as finding the exact amount of sugar in everyone would be quite the task.

In short, 2 of any of these put me well over my daily limit of 40mg of sugar. Darn, they were very handy. I wonder how many other people got stuck with this glaring error?

Cheers Ted
