I see that these have cellulose in them, which is essentially a long chain of glucose molecules. Does this mean sugar intake? Thanks for any answers!

If you're just worried about sugar intake, I would just use the nutrition facts as a guideline. However, with some more research I found out that cellulose is basically a term for a by-product of wood pulp that is widely used as a conveniently cheap and indigestible filler by the processed food industry. Here's some interesting reading: http://www.cracked.com/article_19433_the-6-most-horrifying-lies-food-industry-feeding-you.html

Cellulose is a starch, which is an important structural component for plants. It is a complex glucose chain, but we do not have the enzymes to digest it. Our livestock do, however, and that is why they thrive on grass. For us, it is a form of dietary fiber, and therefore, does fulfill some important nutritional roles.

Nope. Cellulose is in a lot of things we eat. It's a cheap filler in a lot of foods and is actually one of the primary components of most pills, nowadays. It passes through your system undigested, so you get no nutritional impact from it.

To be honest I am not sure, but I looked the word up in my dictionary and it states the following: The chief substance in the cell walls of plants used in making paper, textiles etc. So from this I am taking it that it is ok to eat and it may be what holds the cookie together. I hope this helps! Blessings to you!

These do not have added sugar. they are very sweet & tasty as they are. I have enjoyed them for a very long time. They last for a long time as well. I hope this is helpful.

It is probably about the same, here is a great way to think about it and then you can think about the fruits or where the primary fruit or starch was derived and whether or not that is organic or GMO. Good Luck! Glucose = from carbs. Fructose = from fruits, honey, agave, and high fructose corn syrup. Dextrose = usually produced commercially then added to food to sweeten it. Sucrose = white table sugar, produced from the sugar cane plant (& other sources).

I am sure they are not "healthy" as in good for you but they I don't think they will hurt you. We tried them and were ok. They seem to be mostly sugar.

Have you found out anything about what they are supposed to be like? I've bought them before, 4x they were without the sugar coating and 1x with...my kids refuse the sugar coating

Here's the best I can tell you. It lists sugar on the label, but after where it lists honey granules it says "sucrose, honey". So, there you go. Clear as mud. Sorry, it wasn't clearer.Susan S

From the ingredients in the product obviously, whether that's sugars (glucose, fructose, surcrose etc) or starches. Just because it says sugar doesn't always mean the same sugar that is table sugar. It's Carbohydrate. So it can be any carbohydrate, simple or complex.

My guess would be the mannitol and sorbitol listed on the label. They are sugar alcohols.

My guess is that the FDA intention with that category is to identify how much of the specifically investigated forms of dietary fiber the product contains. Fiber is actually a complex cluster of different polysaccharides with similar digestive properties. They aren't committing to saying that everything in that cluster meets the recommended requirements for health intended by dietary fiber. The FDA labeling site doesn't mention glucomannen among it's recommended forms of dietary fiber. Great question by the way!

If there are artificial sweeteners, it is not disclosed on the label. It DOES list "sugars"...nothing specific. I did notice that nowhere on the label does it claim to be organic, if you are concerned about that.

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.

If you were out..the sugar is good before cardio. The protein helps when lifting. They are delicious. If you're sedentary they may not work for you. The ingredients are listed already on the product description. Hope this helps.

They seem to have a good seal on mine. The sugar stays dry. I've no had any problems!! Hope this helps!

That is a good question which I have not investigated nor compared the sugar content to other brands. I do know that the company states that they use coconuts from a certain area of the Philippines which are the sweetest: "Our coconuts are harvested from the prized Nakorn Pathom province, where they grow larger and taste sweeter than from any other region in the world." It is also a large can (16.2 oz)and contains quite a bit of coconut meat and has 2 gm of fiber. I certainly hope that they are not adding sugar on the sly! You might want to contact the company to discuss this. If you find out, please left us know. I am pre-diabetic and am trying to keep my sugar consumption down.
