Thumbs up Sugar alcohol fan...anyone else?

I like sugar alcohols. Is anyone else w/ me here?

Yes, I had some interesting bathroom experiences for the first few days but I think my system is getting used to them now.

I have heard they cause cravings? For me, the PREVENT cravings. I absolutely love the Indulge candy bars that have sugar alcohol in them. This prevents me from craving sugar loaded sweets.

I was thrilled to find treats that are permissable that are sweetened with sugar alcohol.

I'm just a little leary after all I've heard about them...other than the gastric problems. Someone actually said they inhibit weight loss. So, why does the Atkins food use them if they do? Is this a myth or what?

Thanks.
