[QUOTE="AlexMagd, post: 2674203, member: 429623"] Sorbitol is a polyol, which is a sugar alternative. There are a whole bunch of these used in a variety of products (maltitol, xylitol etc). Most people find they don't have an impact on blood sugar, and when looking at labels their data is usually listed out separately under carbohydrates as "of which polyols". They do have a laxative effect in large quantities, but products that have sufficient polyols to cause this will have a warning on the label. I've never had any digestive or blood sugar problems relating to alcohol sugars, and I'm surprised to hear a doctor steer you away from them - but your mileage may vary. [/QUOTE]
