Hw mny grms sugar r in 3 oz of rum? Bacardi has ad states Bacardi and Diet Cola = 0 Carb /0 Sugar...HOW?

Question

According to Women's Health an average rum and diet cola will have 170 calories...but they don't define suagr content - altho rum is a fermented sugar-cane based spirit.

Answer 1

This is a complete marketing gimmick trying to exploit what remains of the low carb diet fad.
People! Think!

•Alcohol is not a carbohydrate.

• Your body processes alcohol first, before fat, protein, or carbs. Thus drinking slows down the burning of fat. This could account for the weight gain seen in some studies.

• Hard liquor is distilled and thus contains no carbohydrates. The current “Zero Carb” campaign for rum, vodka and whiskey is baloney and may encourage mindless consumption. It’s like bragging that a candy bar is “cholesterol-free.”

Answer 2

there is zero sugar and/or carbs in rum. and ditto in the diet cola.

My mom is a diabetic and this drink is listed in one of her diabetic carb counting books and listed as 0 carb/0 sugar.

same thing with wine as well. 70 cal per 5 oz serving, and only 1gram or less of carbs.

Answer 3

Alcohol doesn't have sugar but when metabolized by the body turns into sugar. So they can make the claims that they do.

Answer 4

Liquor doesn't have sugar, it has alcohol sugars which is something entirely different.

Any hard liquor coupled with a diet soda will have zero calories and zero carbs

Answer 5

That's wrong.

Alcohol will yield 7kcal per gram, which is even more than the energy yielded should you eat carbs or protein (4kcal/g).

Answer 6

there shouldent be anything
