Re: Maltitol : carb or not
jessie,
I have to agree with you on the Maltitol spiking the blood sugar. I have had the Delight chocolate bars before. They are the best tasting ones I've found on the market. I ate one and felt absolutely fine. No usualy high blood sugar spike, BUT when I ate one more...I got the usual symptoms I get when my blood sugar drops. So...I found out that day I could handle one, but not two.

Love the idea of the experiment - hope its not too painful. Having a scientific background I have been doing some food experiments myself like eating certain foods and weighing the next day but certainly not anything as precise as yours.
Have you tried any products with sugar alcohols like Maltitol. A lot of low carb candies (Judy's, Delite chocolate bars) use Maltitol and claim that the carbs do not get absorbed by the body. Never quite trusted that claim. Do you have any insight into this?
Happy experimenting
Jessie
