Default Sugar Alcohols?

What is wrong with them?

I don't consume an incredible amount of them, but I will cut down on anything that stalls me.

Hi Amanda,

Sugar alcohols are very much a YMMV issue. Some people have an insulin reaction to them, as though they are sugar.

You'll find more info on sugar alcohols in Low Carb Tips, which you'll find on the orange bar that runs across the top of the screen.

Now I am very confused...:-) bascially the information said sugar alcohols are not good or bad but could be one or the other depending on your body. Oh well, I have passed two weeks so , maybe I will just eat a little bit of them here and there.

If you go back to Low Carb Tips, you'll find Low Carb Lingo there, which is a list of our acronyms and abbreviations.
