Maltodextrin Question
I decided that drinking green tea would be good for me so I purchased Carb Options Green Tea Orange & Passionfruit. It says 0g Carbs, 0 Sugars, etc. on it. I've been drinking it for three days now and noticed that my sugar readings are high and I can't get them down through diet and exercise like normal. I think drinking this product is causing the high readings. I noticed that the first ingredient is maltodextrin and I didn't know what that was so I looked it up. From what I have read it appears to be a high GI carbohydrate. How can that be? How can this product say 0g carbs and the first ingredient be a high GI carb? Please help me figure this out.
