So, what does all this mean? How does this impact:
A) someone on an Atkins-like diet?
It doesn't impact them at all as they wouldn't be eating this.

B) someone who simply wants to keep their carbs low?
Maybe it tricks them into eating more calories than they meant to. But not if they're smart and realize it's a marketing ploy to sell high carb bars to people trying to avoid carbs.
Finding a good protein bar is like a holy grail. Part of it I think is because some carbs are required to keep the bar firm with good texture and have a good shelf life. I finally gave up on finding a good tasting protein bar and have resigned myself to having to make my own. Which I'm too lazy to do.
And about sugar alcohols, it's weird how the work because not all of them are absorbed into your blood stream but some are. That's why if you eat too many, expect to be on the ****ter.
