    I agree, it's ridiculous, right....? That's why I always make my own. Why pay that much money, when you can make your own for a few cents/pence....? And it takes fewer than 30 seconds - !

    Here in the South, you can always find Dukes Mayonnaise. It's the only one I know of that doesn't have sugar as an ingredient. If you order online, it's pretty pricey, so I was happy to find Dukes at my local Publix grocery store. My own DIY-mayo attempts have been less than stellar.

    Love Duke's!

    Hellman's Mayo has 0 carbs. I think what has more carbs is the mayo-like stuff in a jar they sell as 'salad dressing'.

    Supplements, I remember one magnesium I was looking at way back when they would've been about 6g a day just for those pills. I can fit that in but why.

    Hmm. My bottle of magnesium doesn't list nutritional info so now I'm wondering how many carbs per dose? It's Pure brand. No info on their website either. :/

    Maybe there isn't anything else added, if that's possible. Is it a pill or powder?

    It's a pill. It's 120 mg magnesium glyciate. Other ingredients: vegetarian capsule (cellulose, water), ascorbyl palmitate.

    Sounds the same as mine I take kal mag glycinate it's a tablet and lists <1g carb looks like all from fiber so whatever they use to hold it together

    I didn't realize mayo had sugar - I never really thought I had to read more than the nutritional label...shows how trusting I am. Ah well, lesson learned!

    I hate that I can't find gum with 0 carbs! I guess there is no candy or "quick breath fix" without carbs...

    I recently learned that liver has carbs. Went to make it and checked the label for protein/fat per swerving and for some reason glanced at carbs. Makes sense, I guess, considering what the liver does... grr.

    This not exactly what this thread is about but we all know broccoli and zucchini have carbs but it's only been recently that I've noticed they're actually sweet.

    Some gum uses sugar alcohols as sweetener, which depending on how you look at things are negotiable. Gum is terrible for your teeth anyways, at least that's what my dentist has always told me lol

    I haven't noticed that, yet. Interesting.

    It's probably in the cup... if it's paper disposable, possibly that's your fibre intake taken care of, too.... ;)
