    high in sugar, so it's fattening, if you eat a lot of it.
    Each serving has about 80 calories. Get the sugar free kind instead.
    Yes, it's not fattening as far as not having fat in it.....I was more concerned with the sugar content of the regular jello causing a weight gain.

    Just like everything else on a diet:  too much is not a good thing. Remember, everything in moderation…...

    No gluten in marshmallows...just tons of sugars. :)

    You can't win them all. Unfortunately I've never seen sugar free marshmallows.

    Ok then, maybe I'll eat just one...dozen! lol

    Bill Cosby isn't fat is he?  He has been eating it for years...

    I would stay away from Jell-o, except for the sugar-free. It's just empty calories, and you'd be better off eating fresh fruit. You're right about sugar causing weight gain; the sugar causes a rise in insulin, and that promotes fat storage of any extra calories that are consumed, no matter if they come from protein, fat, or carbs.

    There's always room for Jello   :-)
