Nutrient database

Anyone notice that they're treating erythritol, alluose, and xylitol as if they each had 100 carbs per 100 grams? This adds up to about 24 carbs per cup of any of those three sweeteners. This will obviously give you bogus nutritional information on a given recipe that uses these ingredients.

Hello Pat! Thank you for you comment, we wanted to let you know that Whisk is currently supporting only total carbs. And net carbs are not supported yet. Most of nutrition sources such as USDA shows that carbohydrates from sugar alcohol in total carbs and those are subtracted only from the net carbs. Nutrition source for those ingredients in our database is USDA. So in this case nutrition information is accurate since only total carbs are available. Providing net carbs info as part of nutrition data is something we are considering for future iterations.
