In induction, you count it. You get 3 servings of Splenda, so 3 grams is 3 servings. The addition of the alcohol group to the sugar chain makes the sugar indigestible. However, some people experience stalls when they eat sugar alcohols. In other people, sugar alcohols can cause intestinal cramping. Once you're out of induction, they're fine for an infrequent treat, IMHO. |

New research shows that we digest more of a sugar alcohol than early research stated. It has always been known that some people digest and absorb most of it. The thing is, if you do not get serious digestive consequences from eating it (gas, cramps, diarrhea) you are most likely absorbing and metabolizing most of the sugar alcohol as carbohydrate.

There are actually studies showing you should count as much as half of the reported carb count, so 10 grams of sugar alcohol would be 5 net carbs. I use them sparingly. I have a sugar free syrup that I use in a honey mustard recipe. I use 2 TBS when I inject a whole 10 lb pork shoulder. 2 tbs is 11 grams of malitol, so I count it as 5.5 grams over 10 lbs of meat.

Great, Thanks for the info everyone. I'm dying for some chocolate but I just worked out so I'll just feel proud of myself without feeling guilty about it. |
