It says sugar-free, why does it taste sweet?

While it is sugar free, it does contain the artificial sweetener sucralose which is sweeter than sugar.

Xylitol, sucralose, and trace fruit sugar. Sucralose is chlorinated sucrose ... table sugar chemically modified with chlorine atoms to render it biologically inert to the human body. Historically, sucralose was originally created while chemists were attempting to invent a novel insecticide. Discovery of the sweetness of sucralose was an accident, with the tester surviving after misunderstanding a simple verbal instruction.

It contains xylitol and sucralose. Xylitol is a "sugar alcohol" common in sugar-free candies and veggies, and is processed from wood or corncobs. Xylitol offers some dental benefits (but it may contribute to diarrhea in people who are prone to it). Sucralose is a very common artificial sweetener (think "Splenda"). Do quick web searches for "xylitol" and "sucralose", as they are both interesting additives. They certainly make the gummies taste good!

From what I remember, there are natural fruit juice flavorings. If the fructose is under a certain percentage, they can say "no sugar" according to the government standards. They don't raise my blood sugar levels, so I think they are ok. They are not carb free, but I think that doesn't matter, since when I test my blood sugar level, they don't cause a rise in numbers.

Sounds like it's a sugar free thing from the reviews. But why no ingredients list?

The simply natural unsweetened vanilla has 0 grams of sugar. But it tastes very pleasant without adding any sweeteners.

It smells sweet, the sugar makes it like that. It's not a harsh sweet, but you can smell it when it's all over your face

There is no added sugar in this product. The sugars are naturally occurring in the product. Many foods have natural occurring sugar. This product does not have a sweet taste. Does yours taste sweet? My purchase has slightly different nutrition facts. I think it's because off the specific harvest. If you would like more information I would contact the company. They are very, very nice.

You are more aware than me! As far as I know there is none. I love this sweetener knowing it's natural and secondly it doesn't leave the after taste that some do. Just know that it isn't a cup for a cup. It's much more economical and takes a lot less. I found that about half is equal to a cup of sugar but that's preferential taste.

I bought it because it is gluten free. It tastes sweetso I don't think it is sugar free. I use it to make beef stir fry.

if you let it steep long enough it tastes sweet, not too sure what that is. it does not feel like it spikes your Blood sugar (it just well may though)?

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.

As D. Eckman stated, "The clear liquid has no flavor. It's merely sweet. As far as I know, it has no MSG. It's extracted from the leaf of a stevia plant."I have used this odorless, colorless, natural sweetner siince a friend brought it to me after traveling in Paraquay in the early 1980's. I am diabetic and it does not interfere with my blood sugar.

There is no sugar in this that I can see on the label. Sweetness comes from fruits in it?

Usually these flavors have a sweeter taste, but they are made to add to hard candy (sugar), so they don't need to be sweetened.

My guess would be Stevia... I LOVE this tea, and there is no way based on the other ingredients listed that it could be as sweet as it is without some outside help. Given that we know it's sugar-free, and that whatever it is is "natural," my deduction is Stevia or some other sweetener.

It has Stevia, so yes, it is sugar free without the chemicals...and yes, it is fat free. It is an excellent product. 23 grams of protein in 1 scoop..
