Krispy Kreme Plans Low-Sugar Alternative

[Dr.Gonzo]

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Hot. Now. Healthy?


Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, long known for its high-calorie treats, says it plans to offer a low-sugar doughnut to attract dieters and diabetics.

Exactly how low the sugar content would be was unclear. Krispy Kreme spokeswoman Amy Hughes said the new doughnut is still in the early stages of development. It is set to debut before the end of 2004.

One of Krispy Kreme's Hot Original Glazed doughnuts has 10 grams of sugar and 200 calories. More than half those calories come from fat, 12 grams of it.

Krispy Kreme lover Nathan Painter said he would give one of the newfangled doughnuts a try. Still, he found the whole idea strange.

"It just seems odd they're trying to be healthy," he said.

It's just going to be like going to McDonalds and getting the Big Mac without the special sauce. When is America the stupidity in this diet craze; just eat right and exercise, its pretty simple.

I add a few calories watching the doughnuts fry in the grease, let alone eating one. They are great-tasting, though.

Dude, you don't know what it means to be diabetic and watch all the "normal" folks chowing down on the deep-fried sugar bombs while you have to settle for a frelling celery stick...oh, yeah, and it's Girl Scout cookie time right now; the little green bitches don't make anything I can eat...I even bought three boxes of the damned things from jhanke's daughter to be nice, and I can't eat them so I gave them away...AAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaagh!!!!

Dog,
My apologies. I didn't mean to offend diabetics, just those who go to McDonalds and other fast food joints and try to pass it off as being healthy.

Fish (or IU), just dishing out a little fecal matter...

Just wondering, is asscake low in sugar and carbs?
