Is it true that Advantage bars are higher in carbs than it says on the label because the glycerin is not counted?
Our main concern for Atkins followers is the impact of carbohydrate on blood sugar and insulin levels. Although glycerin (as well as fiber and sugar alcohols) is a carbohydrate, it has a different metabolic effect on the body. Unlike typical carbohydrates, glycerin and the other components have minimal impact on blood sugar levels. Therefore, net carbs have been singled out from total carbs, with only the net carb count indicated on the label. However, the FDA now wants the glycerin content of all products to be reflected in total carbohydrate count, so in the future you may see a higher carbohydrate gram count on the labels of AtkinsTM Advantage Bars and other products that include glycerin and other noncaloric sweeteners. But it.s important to know that net carbs are the only the carbs that you need to count when you do Atkins. (Taken from Atkins.
