Most products are made with maltitol which is a byproduct of high fructose corn syrup and has a very high GI - have a google of polyols and GI - they all have different counts, some better and some worse. Sadly the ones used in most low carb sweets are the worst ones.Here's one link: <a href="http://lowcarbdiets.about.com/od/nutrition/a/maltitol.htm" target="_blank">http://lowcarbdiets.about.com/od/nutrition/a/maltitol.htm</a>Splenda, stevia, xylitol and erithiol are the only sweeteners that don't spike me, maltitol gives many many people problems with BG and can also mess up low carb weight loss attpts.</blockquote>
