Dear Natanya, welcome.

Yes, it can be confusing. What you have come across is a basic description of the digestion of sugar alcohols indeed.

Have you read the excellent article, about the sugar alcohols and other sweeteners and the part(s) that are important to us and our health, as written by our own Doreen SuperAdministrator? This might help clarify some of these questions for you, the research has been done. Just look over on the right of your screen, there's a Quick Link there, The Truth About LowCarb Sweeteners Info.

Other than offering this suggestion to you, I'm not sure what you're asking for...
