Sugar Alcohols

Beware!
First of all, you can not get anything further away from its natural state.
I've realized that most people don't even know what a sugar alcohol is. Sweet'N Low, Equal and Splenda are all sugar alcohols. If you are eating something that is really sweet and is says there are 0 grams of sugar, that means it is sweetened with a sugar alcohol. It will show up on labels as maltitol, sorbitol, polyols, or aspartame.

Most people consume these product when they are dieting and trying to loose weight. BAD idea! Sugar alcohols effect the neuro system, also known as your brain. They actually make you feel more hungry and you eat more!
