Ok, calm down. Nobody added sugar to your lettuce. Almost every vegetable has carbs from the cellulose and fiber they are made of. That is what the sugar is from. Nature did it.

Rick is right - the 1 gram of sugar carbs is natural sugar in the lettuce. All plants have natural sugar, which is where the carbs come from. You need to check the ingredients list on any labels for added sugar or one of its aliases like cane syrup, dextrose, etc

I never paid attention to any labels before, ever (hence my weight LOL)... so seeing sugar in lettuce was just a shock. My bad, all better now!

It's not the same as table sugar, corn syrup or honey. All veggies have some natural sugar, but, with the fiber, it doesn't affect your blood sugar the same way "actual" sugars do. You weren't surprised that lettuce has fat?
