I ate a low carb mint choc bar the other day that said it was 0.3g of net effective carbs. On the back it said something like 15g of carbs, 14g was something called Moltitol (hum... I forget now, I hope I spelt that right).

Well, I also wondered what these ingredients are. It is a carb but not one I need to count... hum... I also became a bit wary and am not sure whether to eat these bars again in case it is bad news. I understand the fibre thing but what are these other substances such as Moltitol?

All very confusing and worrying.
