right here in this Research/Media thread ... more information on the glycerin.

... and use home-made sweets (with NO glycerin or sugar alchols) as a sort of 'methadone' to get over the Atkins' and other bars "addiction".

8-10 a day?!? I think they say right on the bars not to be used as meal substitutes, don't they? There's a reason for that... all sugar alcohols will have gastrointestinal "side effects" (diarrhea! cramps!) in larger amounts than a "normal serving size" for most people and in any amount for those sensitive to them. Please do read the Truth about Low Carb Sweeteners Info article right here on this website, over there on the right for quick access. VERY valuable info for your health and peace of mind!
