It gives you the runs. When I worked in a candy factory we we brought in a sample to experiment with. It cleanses your colon, but good... as in explosive diarrhea. As in screaming “GET OUT OF MY WAY” running clenching your cheeks and not making it kind of situation. As in blown O-ring. Tastes just like regular sugar. Acts just like sugar in baking and candy making. Would make a terrible thing to bring to a pitch in.
Is that what lactulose syrup is made from (sugars that absorb water and, being indigestible, pull it into the colon)?
Sounds like the Olestra “fat free fat” debacle.
Your post reminded me of the reviews for Harbo sugar-free gummy bears on Amazon.
