Another caution is that candies and ice cream treats sweetened with sugar alcohols taste very much like real sugar, much more so than artificial sweeteners such as Splenda or aspartame. For persons with sugar or carb addiction problems, these foods can trigger serious cravings, and some suggest they might even trigger insulin release as an indirect response to stimulation of the sweet taste receptors on the tongue.

Proceed slowly, and as Robert advised, best to not overdo
