If you like dashing to the bathroom, passing gas, having stomach pains, etc., go for it! Personally, I try to avoid that junk. -- Type 2 http://users.bestweb.net/~jbove/

Maltitol and those sweeteners give me (and other people) diarrhea, which is a good reason to be very careful what you try and when!

It's been ages since I've had a jam or jelly on my bread. I butter up my toast and put splenda and cinnamon on it and stick it in the microwave for 20 seconds. YUMMY Oil and vinegar for the salad? Stay away from low-fat salad dressings. They have a bunch of sugar added to compensate for the lower taste from the lower fat. Sherry
Sugar alcohols are carbs. The most polite thing I can say about the statement "sugar alcohols have a minimal impact on blood sugar levels"-- which you see on a lot of "low net carb" foods--is that it's a gross oversimplification. Different people react differently to sugar alcohols. I almost never have GI problems, but I've never had a problem with glucophage either (usually things that make my system more active are a good thing for me). One the other hand, I have to count the sugar alcohols as plain ordinary carbs. It also depends on which sugar alcohol. Maltitol seems to be the most like regular carbs in terms of raising blood glucose for most people. Other types don't affect BG as much. Ben & Jerry's Carb Karma ice cream has a bunch of sugar alcohols that don't raise my BG much. On the other hand, the one time I ate WAY too much of it, my insides gurgled all night. BG was absolutely flat. It appears that sugar alcohols tend to either: (1) raise your BG, or (2) create GI problems (or some mix of the two).
