Excellent video. I tend to avoid sugar free sweets and other products mostly as I don't feel a desire to eat sweets but also as artificial sweeteners seem dodgy. It has never occurred to me when I occasionally buy a packet of sugar free sweets for the taste to check whether they have carbs so that is something learned. I had thought the second category was going to be "no added sugar" rather that "no sugar but contains carbs" - I suppose that is slightly different issue but it is a con that I still fall for!
