Can that really be true?  I can understand the deduction of the fiber (I was told that if it was over 5 grams to divide the fiber in half and subtract that number from the total number of carbs) but why sugar alcohols?  Some of these alleged low carb items are quite hefty with the sugar alcohols.  Can anybody explain how these deductions work?
