Wow, am I disappointed.

Levulose is synonymous with Fructose (fruit sugar).
Lactin is synonymous with Lactose (milk sugar).

There's no splenda in it at all.
It's not good for Atkins Dieters. It might be OK on other plans, but I doubt it.

Wondering what Beta Glucan is?

or Inulin?

Sounds like this cheesecake company is trying to make regular sweeteners more low carb by adding these supplemental ingredients.

Either way, it's frankenfood. I'm pissed.
