[ATTILAGLIC]

What they're doing is subtracting the glycerine (it's in the ingredient list) but not calling it a sugar alcohol (which it is). That's how they get 2 or 3 net grams of carb in each bar. Very misleading, IMHO. If they subtract carbs because they're sugar alcohols they should then put those carbs on the label that way... there are 6 grams of SA that they're not accounting for on the label. Not right, not fair but within the scope of advertising laws.

Now, not all sugar alcohols effect all people the same way. Some diabetics will tell you that they DO effect their blood sugar, the way regular sugar does, just not as much (seems about half). Some people count half the sugar alcohol carbs to be safe.

Since you don't make these a regular snack and you used it in an "emergency" I wouldn't stress about it. If you notice an increase in your desire for more... or for other carby foods... take that into consideration and maybe avoid these. You'll have to figure out how/if they effect your body.
