We can try to find a good way of doing this. The stock database is USDA, and items won't sugar alcohols untill the USDA adds them to the database. We can add additional entries for specific products that are being used by individual members, but they may not be accurate as some enter their guesstimates.

What we might be able to do is find/solicit volunteers who can collect and verify the data for the most common products that can be useful to our members and make those entries available system-wide.

If anyone feels like taking this on, just start a new thread to collect data and input from users and compile a spreadsheet, then we'll just add the data.

Wa'il
