Guest guest Posted September 19, 2002 Report Share Posted September 19, 2002 Yes, Rita, I think they're great, but you must get the CARB CONTROL ones. The other kind (same packaging) has many carbs. So far I have given 3 4-packs to my assistant, because I didn't take the time to make sure it said " Carb Control " .

I have one in the soft sided cooler under my desk right now. I'm partial to the chocolate fudge flavor, and if it's not cold I just pour it over ice.

Is that what the label shows? Susie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a version called EAS Myloplex Low Carb that is essentially the same thing as Advant Edge. Just make sure you get the low carb version of either one.

The fiber is also already subtracted from the carb total, so there are really 4 g. of carbs. (16 calories). That's 112 calories, but the gram totals are probably rounded off on the label and not in the calorie count. Christy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sugar alcohols mentioned are reduced calorie sweeteners, but they are not calorie free, so they will contribute to the total calorie count. If I recollect correctly, they have about 1/2 the calories of sugars (and are allowed to be so counted under US labeling laws). They are generally metabolized differently than sugars (without needing much insulin), so many of us find that they have minimal blood sugar impact. However, some people find that they do cause blood sugar spikes. YMMV. Tom the Actuary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
