Read these ingredients...are these sugar-free gummy worms OK?
My mom, who used to be convinced that Atkins would "kill me," has finally come around and is supporting my WOE. The other day she sent me a package of sugar-free gummi worms. Problem is, they're the homemade kind, sold in a little bag at a local Mennonite store. The ingredients are listed, and they're labeled "sugar-free," but there is no nutritional information. I know sugar-free doesn't mean low-carb in all cases, so can someone please tell me if these are OK? I ate two the other day and got the typical OD-on-sugar-alchohols reaction.
Here's the ingredients: Hydrogenated starch hydrolysate, gelatin, citric acid, lactic acid, natural and artificial flavoros, artificial colors (including red #3 and #40, yellow #5 and #6, blue #1), mineral oil, carnauba wax.
The word "starch" in there has me worried...
