[QUOTE="petertremelling, post: 352252, member: 54769"] Wind, tummy upsets, laxative effects CHECK! Tried a bar when diagnosed first, well remember the reults......all of them. Never touched the stuff since. 2 memorable brands were Boots and Thorntons, and neither tasted like Cadbury's. Moderation is good. Chocolate in moderation is good. The important thing that I have noticed is that certain bulk sweeteners as they are called (such as Sorbitol eg) certainly cause tha above efects. What I have recently discovered thanks to my now found hobby of reading product labels (saddo) is the growing trend for manufacturers to label things like yogurt with a great big bright label proclaiming 0% fat. The problem as noted above is that there is a balance required in manufacturing between sugar content and fat. Remove the fat, up goes the sugar. Make it sugar free and up goes the fat. Sod's law maybe, but that is how it works. So as diabetics we need to be aware of the desired 0% fat product as the sugar will be greater, and if some of the popular sugar replacements are used bad effects will follow. Oh, well..................at least Sorbitol et al ensures we get more exercise! [/QUOTE]
