Is it true that zero-calorie candy has no calories?
That's not true.

According to national standards, if the contents of fat and sugar in 100ml are less than or equal to 0.5g, it can be labeled as "zero fat" and "zero sugar", and if the energy of 100ml beverage is less than or equal to 17kJ (4 calories), it can be labeled as "zero calorie". Therefore, even a beverage with "0 sugar, 0 fat and 0 calories" does not mean that it contains no sugar and no calories at all.

Zero-calorie candy is the choice of many dieters, and it basically contains no calories, because the main components of zero-calorie candy are erythritol and mogroside. Generally, zero-calorie candy will not be digested and degraded by any enzyme system in the body and excluded from the body even if it enters the human body. Therefore, zero-calorie candy can be used as a sweet substitute for people who lose weight and have high blood sugar in daily life.

The role of eating zero-calorie candy
