[QUOTE="Rachox, post: 2294691, member: 400972"] Thanks for the tag [USER=368709]@Goonergal[/USER] yes indeed I do eat and enjoy Carb Killa bars. As [USER=41816]@Brunneria[/USER] explained above they are sweetened with Polyols which are sugar alcohols though they are neither sugar or alcohol! Polyols are a carbohydrate but are not converted into sugar like many other carbohydrates that us low carbers avoid. Some people as Goonergal says are adversely affected by them but I find that my blood sugars are ok with them. The ‘impact’ carb count is calculated by subtracting the grams of polyols (blue arrow) from the total carb count (green arrow) in the example below, so in this case 4g carbs per bar. EDIT TO ADD as [USER=460785]@xfieldok[/USER] says xylitol is poisonous for pets but not all flavours use that particular polyol, so if you have pets and want to try one just check out the ingredients for one with a different polyol.
