Polly-O String Cheese- You will be SHOCKED!!!

I got the shock of my life when I called Kraft to inquire about the nutritional information on the Polly-O String Ums 1oz cheese stick. Are you sitting down? 1 stick has: 6 GRAMS of FAT 80 CALORIES 220 mg of SODIUM

Yes Bill, you need to read the Nutrition Label on everything your thinking of eating now. My question is, Even if it's says it's Sugar Free. What does Sugar Alcohol mean? If it still has sugar alcohol then it still has some sort of sugar doesn't it? Mike

FYI - Sugar alcohols don't affect your blood sugar or carbs. But be cautious when eating foods with sugar alcohols. They will cause diarrhea and abdominal crampons. I learned this handy lesson learned from a half a bag of Sugar-Free Reese's PB cups and few years ago when I was on the Atkins diet.

You missed the ultimite most important thing!!! its the protien. Right now its not the calories that you must be worried about its the protien.

Bill, How much protein do they have? I know cheese isn't low fat and usually isn't low sodium either but I calculate how many calories and fat grams per gram of protien. That helps me decide if I'm getting enough protein "bang for the buck" for the calories consumed!! Vickie J.
