Interesting article! I was shopping for all the household stuff at Walmart this morning and in the checkout lane they had a selection of no-carb candy. I usually don't care much for this stuff but I saw one that was "coffee toffee" and it sounded so good that I had to check the label. Four SMALL candies have 35 carbs of which 34 were sugar alcohol. That is why they are advertised as 1 net carb per serving. Good lord, I couldn't put them down fast enough! I just don't eat sugar alcohols or if I do, I count them in the carb count. I stall like crazy when I eat them so that is good enough for me. Orchid
