    How can something have nothing in it ?

    These coffee syrups i see in the stores. I look at the labels and they have nothing listed in them . Are they hiding something.

    I look at this and it only has 5 grams of sod.

    Can't Believe It's Not Butter spray? That's what I use. There's also a spray out (can't remember the name) that makes popcorn tastes EXACTLY like movie theater popcorn w/ zero cals.

    that's interesting bro... how could that be 0% in everything...! I mean, I'm not trying to be too technical about things, but per the conservation of mass/matter, things cannot be created or destroyed... ok, I'll give in to the thought that you may play with things... I don't know, that's just crazy lol!

    here's the thing.

    it could have 0.99g of carbs/sugar, etc in it.

    but

    as long as it's actually BELOW %1 food companies can list it at %0.

    legal to do!

    I know what you mean. I just ate Japanese rice noodles and it had the same nutrition facts, everything was 0% except there were 40g of carbs and .5g of polyunsaturated fat. But it has to legally be correct right?

    Remember when Entenmann's was all the rage with their fat free products and people were eating the whole boxes and thinking it was Guilt-Free food.
