You've caught on to something that makes me crazy! Sugar free Cool Whip has 3 carbs per serving and "regular" Cool Whip has 2! Most of the time "sugar free" things have a couple carbs less than the "regular".

Sugar-free foods may play a role in your diabetes diet — but sugar-free doesn't mean carbohydrate-free. When you're choosing between standard products and their sugar-free counterparts, compare the food labels side by side. If the sugar-free product has noticeably fewer carbohydrates, the sugar-free product might be the better choice. But if there's little difference in carbohydrate grams between the two foods, let taste — or price — be your guide.
