Unhappy Glycerine (glycerin?) -- yes or no?

For the life of me, I don't know what to believe. The Atkins bars (and just about all the other low-carb bars) add glycerine but don't count it in their carb content, claiming it doesn't affect "insulin or blood sugar levels".

Well, what I need to know is, "Does it count as muscle fuel?" If so, if it counts as energy at all, then it's as good as being a true carb, because it's that much LESS fat the body is burning and could stall ketosis.

So, anyone out there an expert on this food additive?

Thanks,

Tasha
