So they say. So they say. On the other hand, the nutrition information on their 87% bar doesn't add up (protein x4 + carbs x4 + fat x9 = total calories) any way I figure it (counting fiber calories, subtracting fiber calories, rounding error...). So I wonder what else they have wrong...

Actually, a number of different exceedingly dark chocolates (84-100%) showed widely disparate nutritional information, and several did not add up, although the Dagoba was the furthest off. Once I get my bg stabilized, I intend to do my own glycemic index studies on the various chocolates, as that is really what I most care about anyhow.

Speaking of stevia, not only are there disturbing reports about its effects on blood sugar, but several brands and the new Zevia soda include undisclosed erythritol: not an encouraging development.
