11/07/2026: Let me start by saying that I'm on a ketogenic diet. I can eat protein without any carbohydrates or sugar, but every now and then I can indulge in a sugar-free ice cream. The term "sugar-free" doesn't necessarily mean sugar-free, but rather contains a low-glycemic index sugar, such as maltitol, erythritol, stevia, etc.
This can be useful for both ketogenic diets and especially for diabetics (in fact, "sugar-free" ice cream was created specifically for them).
I went into this ice cream shop and I was craving some ice cream. I asked if they had sugar-free ice cream (obviously, I knew that "sugar-free" could mean low-glycemic index sugar), I trusted them, and I ate it... Then, out of curiosity, I asked the waiter what sugar was in it. First, the clerk, with a certain amount of confidence, told me it was absolutely sugar-free and that he could guarantee it, and I replied that it was impossible, given the very sweet taste. Then, when I insisted, they asked the chef and told me it contained fructose...
Fructose is absolutely not a low-glycemic sugar, but a sugar in all respects, only it comes from fruit, so...
For those on a ketogenic diet, especially diabetics, be careful to ask carefully what type of sugar is in it. I messed up my diet by taking myself out of ketosis, but for a diabetic, that's absolutely serious!
