Why This “Zero Calorie Sweetener” Isn’t Zero Calories

The takeaway is as far as labeling is concerned, any food is zero calories if the serving size is sufficiently small.
Which is why the US should adopt the EU labeling guidelines. Everything is listed as per 100g, so you can't hide sugar content.
But isn’t the sugar in a form that it can’t be metabolized by the body? Or is that untrue?
