This really pisses me off when companies do this shit. Nature Valley advertises 50% less sugar, but to achieve that they jack up the carbs, rendering the reduced sugar absolutely useless. There are zero benefits.

This practice is wildly deceptive, and possibly harmful for people with diabetes, who are uneducated on nutrition, or just assumes companies wouldn't do this.

Kelloggs pulled this shit like a decade ago and I believe they got sued. Anyway, fuck Nature Valley.

Bag of nature Valley granola the advertise is 50% less sugar.
The nutritional values on the back of the bag show that the amount of carbs is 45 g. This is 5 g higher than the full sugar nature Valley granola.
