Hi there,

The bars are neither right nor wrong. They are very much a YMMV (your mileage may vary) situation. The sugar alcohols they contain are what cause problems for some folk.

How do you know if you'll be affected? The only way is to try them and see.

One more thing: sugar alcohols tend to also be laxatives and many folk (such as yours truly) avoid them for that reason.

If you go to "Low Carb Tips" on the orange bar at the top of the screen, you'll find some more sugar alcohol information.
