Sweet Fish, Low Sugar Gummy Candy, 1.8oz Bags, 12 Pack

These sweet fish are so good. They have become my favorite treat but they are way too expensive for what you get. If you really want or need sugar free and have extra cash laying around definitely buy these treats. They’re yummy. Amazon subscribe and save together with four other items is the most economical way to justify purchasing these treats I’ve seen them in the grocery store for around $3.00 for one Individual package. The box includes 12.

Love these. P

the old recipe is by far superior. with the old recipe the taste and texture are additively delicious. the new recipe tastes horrid, they are dry, hard, and tasteless. dont know if it was a bad batch or what. once the old recipe runs out, will not buy any longer. quite expensive for the quantity, but worth it from time to time as a treat. they should work on lowering the price point, perhaps more per pack instead of all these tiny packs with 10 or so pieces.

Love these perfect gummy soft texture. Just wish they weren’t so expensive!

This is a review for the 2.0 version of Smart Sweets Sweet Fish. If you get the version that contains prebiotic soluble fiber, it is this version. Otherwise, you’ll be getting the newer 3.0 version, containing Allulose, which has a worse taste and texture. Amazon currently sells the superior 2.0 version, but this eventually might be replaced by the inferior 3.0 version. I bought some of the newer version at a local store, and almost returned them they were so bad. The only reason I didn’t return them, was because of the current “no food return” policy at the store, because of what is happening in the world right now. So I went to Amazon to buy the older version.The taste of these is quite good, but the biggest complaint that I have is the quality control. I just opened up a bag of them that contained only six fish, whereas other bags in the same box contain 12 or more fish. The quality control of this company’s product is horrendous! The price is already very high, and then to have each bag possibly have less than half of the quantity that it should have? Ridiculous.

This product tries to lead you to believe it is better for you than sugar. This is misleading if not outright false.What good does it do to remove almost all sugar only to replace it with something that masquerades as being good for you, but is no better than, and probably worse than regular sugar?There was a report by Thanh Vo, MSc, in March 21, 2019 entitled "Tapioca Fiber or Soluble Corn Fiber: Which one is worse than sugar?" in which Prebiotic Tapioca Fiber was identified as none other than than the known culprit IMO: Isomaltooligosaccharide.As you may note from above, this compound is a saccharide, and saccharides are sugars!Do you wonder why these products taste so sweet, and you don't taste the stevia? IMO is a SUGAR FIBER, not a true dietary fiber! It is listed as a SWEETENER. One can find it listed in the 'All Sweetener List' at the Sugar-Sweetener-Guide which can be found online.The article by Thanh notes that in n 2013, Quest Nutrition came under litigation for representing IMO as dietary fiber on the nutrional labels for their bars. They ended up removing IMO from their products.Equating prebiotic tapioca fiber with IMO is uncovered by looking at the labeling of other products. An example given in the article is Primal Kitchen's Macadamia Sea Salt bars which list isomaltooligosaccharides (from Tapioca) (IMO) as the first ingredient on their website. However, the package label lists "Prebiotic Tapioca Fiber" in its place. But it is not listed as a carbohydrate or a sugar as this substance seems to fall through the cracks of current labeling requirements. They go on to show another label where "Prebiotic Tapioca Fiber" is directly identified as "IMO from Non GMO Tapioca starch" on the same label.What is notable, according to the article, is that IMO is NOT included in the current Final FDA Guidelines for Dietary Fiber. This would appear to indicate that this is not a true dietary fiber, and Tapioca Fiber is simply another name for IMO. However it seems that, for a few more years yet while the FDA allows further submissions in dietary fibers, companies can do what this company is doing. I look for that to change.The evidence presented in the article goes on to show that IMO (tapioca fiber) is actually worse than table sugar. Recent studies have shown IMO to generate blood sugar levels similar to glucose and dextrose. These have a glycemic index of 100!For a comparison of the glycemic index of various sugars:Table 1: GI of sugarsMaltose GI= 105Glucose/dextrose GI=100Rice syrup GI=98Sucrose GI=65Lactose GI=46Fructose GI=19As you can see, IMO has one of highest as its glycemic index as it is similar to that of glucose/dextrose. It's higher than regular table sugar.In this article they described running two tests to specifically see how a SmartSweet product impacted blood sugar starting from fasting. In one they ate a package of gummie bears. In the other they drank sugar water containg 28 grams pure sugar, and compared the results on fasting blood sugar.The results were virtually identical. Both spiked blood sugar into the160's within an hour, and took over 2 hours to return to normal. Imagine now the effect on a diabetic, and how this would kick someone on a ketogenic diet out of ketosis.Tapioca fiber has also been listed as:Prebiotic Tapioca FiberSoluble Tapioca FiberPrebiotic Fiber from Tapioca StarchPrebiotic Soluble Fiber from TapiocaNon-GMO Tapioca FiberOrganic Tapioca FiberPrebiotic Soluble Fiber from CassavaSo buyer beware. This product appears to be is no better than sugar. You can find people on YouTube showing what it does to their blood glucose levels as well. That this product suggests it is better for you than sugar is greatly misleading if not outright false.I feel I have been greatly deceived.

These are my favorite from this brand. I had to take a break from ordering them because they are so addictive and kinda expensive however you’re getting quality ingredients without harmful artificial sweeteners. The thing is with these. The small bags are for a reason so its moderation is key.. savor them. Each 1.8 oz bag is about 40 grms of carbs so

I enjoyed the original formula beyond words. I ordered it often and made sure I had it on hand all the time because I would have a bag at night several times a week to satisfy my occasional urge to binge candy with a low-calorie, sweet, vegetarian, gummy snack.The new formula just became widely available, and I must say that, to me, it tastes worse than the original. The good thing for those on keto diets is that it has a different type of fiber (and less fiber), so it won't kick you out of ketosis easily. Unfortunately, the taste just does not do it for me. Maybe others will like it. Like I said, It wasn't about ketosis for me, it was about food cravings. I guess I'll have to find something else to maintain my non-keto, calorie-restricted diet while satisfying this vegetarian's sweet tooth.
