Default sugar in chicken broth?

My can of SWANSON'S chicken broth (which i ate today during a CM) read that it contained 1 gram of sugar and 1 gram carbs. The ingredients said it contained extracts of celery juice and carrot juice, which is probably where the sugar came from. I'm wondering if even 1 gram of sugar coming from veggie extracts will affect my body? Do most canned broths contain veggie extracts or sugar? Which contain plain chicken stock and water? thanks!

Don't worry about it. The gram of carb and the gram of sugar is the same gram. It's little enough, especially if used in a recipe.

I doubt that 1g is going to hurt you. there are broths that read 0 carbs. I always get that one. THat doesnt mean it doesnt have any though. I believe if there is less then 1 carb per serving, the company doesnt have to lable it as such however if you have more then one serving it adds up. (HEavy cream for example)
