My mom, who used to be convinced that Atkins would "kill me," has finally come around and is supporting my WOE. The other day she sent me a package of sugar-free gummi worms. Problem is, they're the homemade kind, sold in a little bag at a local Mennonite store. The ingredients are listed, and they're labeled "sugar-free," but there is no nutritional information. I know sugar-free doesn't mean low-carb in all cases, so can someone please tell me if these are OK? I ate two the other day and got the typical OD-on-sugar-alchohols reaction.

Here's the ingredients: Hydrogenated starch hydrolysate, gelatin, citric acid, lactic acid, natural and artificial flavoros, artificial colors (including red #3 and #40, yellow #5 and #6, blue #1), mineral oil, carnauba wax.

The word "starch" in there has me worried...
