Question Non-impact Carbs

I went to my local Vitamin store today and bought a few LC bars that stated "2 or 3 Net Carbs" on the front of the wrappers. When I got home (put my glasses on)and read the small nutritional info on the back I was surprised that the actual Carb counts were in the 20's and the fiber (which I figured they merely subtracted out to get the net number) was only 4 or 5 grams. One bar stated, "Only the NET CARB COUNT of 3 g of carbs should be counted toward your daily carbo intake. The remaining 20 g of NON-IMPACT CARBS come from glycerine, malitol and fiber, all of which have a minimal impact on blood sugar levels." Should I be eating these?
