I disagree...BUT this is why I do.

Some people tend to have to count all the sugar alcohol carbs because their bodies do "count them"...other people may use some but not all, others it does not seem to affect them at all. I am the middle tier. So I count half of the sugar alcohols. BUT I rarely eat these types of products...occasional candy Bar or a Shake is the extent of it. So I would say see how you are doing with the consumption of sugar-alcohol products and then be the judge on how many of these carbs you should count.
