Maltitol is a sugar alcohol, and is not counted in the carb count of a food (for low card dieting purposes). I guess because it's not digested? I'm not positive about that. But it may have, as it says, a ''laxative'' effct. Well, you better believe they aren't just whistling Dixie when they say that!!!!
It's in most of the low carb candies you will find out there.

malitol is a sugar alcohol made from malodextrin. It has some calories but no influence on insulin.....all the sugar alcohols do this but can cause stomach distress if too much is taken
