sugar vs sugar alcohol
Does anyone know if there is any difference between the two? I have a no sugar added pudding, but it has 7 gr in sugar alcohol. I thought that was a bit high but I'm not sure if it measures the same as 'sugar'. thanks.

Sugar alcohols are fake sugars. Most of us tolerate them well in small amounts. Some people can get sick for too much (we all vary in levels we tolerate).
They have a laxative effect when in large amounts because the body does not absorb them.

@ HRRH, they told us that sugar alcohol will not effect your weight loss but can give you cramps and gas if you take in too much... sugar will effect loss if regularly over the 10 g. per serving.

Thanks so much. The laxative part sounds wonderful. I'm still working with cement. Colace and MOM not working.
