    So I just came across some Walden Products and was wondering how something can have 0 calories?
    I mean if they have 0 cal, do they have any sort of nutrition value?
    Also does anyone know if those products are any good?

    American calorie values can be listed differently. There, if something has less than 5 calories per serving it can be listed as 'zero calories', whereas here it has to be an exact value. As for the ingredients, these syrups are very artificial and full of sweeteners, apparently they taste vile (haven't tried them myself).

    These are the ingredients for the peanut spread:

    Ingredients
    Purified Water, Vegetable Fiber, Defatted Cocoa Powder, Natural Chocolate Flavor, Caramel Color, Natural Roasted Peanut Flavor, Natural Peanut Extract, Sea Salt, Corn Starch, Xanthan Gum, Lactic Acid, Sodium Benzoat (To Preserve Freshness), Sucralose, Vanilla Flavor, FD&C Yellow #6
    *Contains Trace Calories

    Sounds absolutely gross! I love the bit about it containing "trace calories". I wouldn't touch these products.

    No nutritional value, its flavorless fiber goo with artificial sweeteners and thickeners.

    They are really bad but barely edible if you are starving or have no alternative, like diabetic/dieting.

    I was on a ketogenic diet (0 carbohydrates) and I would eat a spoon of the chocolate spread and try to pretend it was Nutella. Sad times :D
