I really like this stuff. I also tried the Ruby Red Grapefruit for the first time this a.m. and I like that, too.
The ingredient list is: Citric acid for tartness, calcium citrate, maltodextrin, aspartame (sweetner), ascorbic acid, magnesium oxide, less than 2% of natural and artificial flavor, calcium carbonate, acesulfame potassium (sweetner), xanthan and cellulose gums, artificial colors...
So the sweetners are aspartame and acesulfame potassium -- both in powdered form (hence the maltodextrin) and so there HAS to be some carbs in it. The serving size on the package is 8 fl oz and says 0 carbs...I would guess it's probably one of those cases where there is 0.9999 g in that 8-oz serving so I think I would go ahead and count each glass as "one carb" per.
But it's good stuff -- specially when you just need a change from H2O and if aspartame doesn't slow/stall your weight loss. As with all things...YMMV.
