Those companies deduct ALL of the sugar alcohol grams to get that very low "net grams" number. However, it's been shown that 2/3 of the sugar alcohols are actually absorbed and used like regular sugars... that's why diabetics are told to avoid SAs or count the carbs. The American Diabetic Association has this info on their website.
