Grammar
In vs. on
Hi!
Is the underlined "in" correctly placed? Or should I use "on" instead? Maybe you can spot other mistakes as well?
This candy is fat-free and low in calories; therefore people who care about a beautiful figure do not have to worry that they will gain weight if they will treat themselves with a little bit of candy.
Much appreciated!
