I work in a building that has a small cafe...it usually has a lot of unique products available...some that are even IP alteratives. I came across a drink called Bai. Wondering if any of you have heard of it...

Besides being infused with all of the antioxidents many of these drinks normally advertise as being "healthy" the nutrition facts seem to jive with IP. In moderation of course. For a "once in a while" afternoon pick me up that gives a little more punch than water with lemon, what do you think?

Per 8 oz serving:
Calories: 5
Sodium: 5 mg
Carbs: 9g
Sugars: 1g
Erythritol: 8g
Protin: 0g

1 net carb per serving
low glycemic...obviously!
Also uses stevia for sweetner

This is the Costa Rica Clemintine flavor's nutrition facts..the others may be a tinge different.

I think it depends in how closely you want to follow the protocol.
Since it isn't on the sheet, it isn't allowed
Since it isn't 0/0/0 (carbs/sugar/fat), it can't be an extra

I could be wrong, but I read somewhere that you don't deduct the entire amount of sugar alcohols from the total carbs. Instead you should divide the sugar alcohols by half and deduct that amount. So in this case, the total carbs would be 5 grams (9-4) which would be too high anyway.

Agreed.
