- it says to me they're fiddling with the definition of "sugar". there's no protein or fat in it, only other choice is sugar. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 09:58 3
  - Sprite: 38g carbs (38g sugars) Apple Juice 42g carbs (37.5g sugars). Perhaps those 4.5g non sugar carbs account for the addittional calories. -- nm - TWuG Apr 7, 10:02 1
    - there it is. but for your body starch and sugar are equivalent. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 10:03
  - there are many types of sugar and the calorie count is simply the burn value of the product, sugar, fat etc combined - Danedukenuuk Apr 7, 10:00
