no they don't. If you check the Eddie's Grand Ice sugar free
sweetened with Splenda the regular sugar free has the same fat content
as the regular with sugar. comparing a non fat brand to a regular fat
brand because both are sugar free does not support this statement.
Eddy's makes both regular sugar free and low fat sugar free ice cream.
Compare low fat to low fat for an accurate picture.
