Whatthefuctose?

Just for fun I took a look at the information the free no-sugar-added instant hot chocolate our office offers. The ingredients seemed fairly innocuous and the only "ose" or sugar, was Splenda.

Then I looked at the values and there were 7g of sugars listed.

Do cocoa beans have their own sugars? It looks like, essentially, cocoa, Splenda and evaporated milk. Ahhhh, could be the milk I suppose.

I've been having splenda in my coffee in the mornings and I thought it was comparable to saccharine, but if it's a sugar of any kind I'm going to have to find out.

Right now I'm drinking green tea instead.
