Question

sugar alcohol, what is it?

I am confused about sugar alcohols (Maltitol for example). It supposedly does not digest as a carbohydrate,but it does add calories to the daily intake. It's not protein, or fat, or fibre, so what category does it fall into? I would appreciate it, if anyone can explain this to me.
thanks

Hi Canuck, welcome!

If you go to Low Carb Tips on the orange bar at the top of the screen, you'll find an article there that gives a lot of info about sugar alcohols.
