met-rx bars with sugar alchohols

[tbonus]

Ok,
I am on a low carb pre pre-contest diet. A few times a week I eat on of those met-rx bars that have 5 net carbs. What impact will this sugar alchohol that is used in them have on me? Since I am eating every couple of hours and sometimes get busy on calls, etc where I've forgot my food or cant get to it, I stop and pick one of these bars up. Any harm in them??

Met-RX sucks I haven't touched that brand-which used to be my staple after the company was sold and they changed the formula.

not sure what the net carbs are but they are high than the label..supplement companies hide carbs as glycerols and such....there was an article on it sometime ago somewhere don't know if they changed the labelling policy....

I personally like the Labrada bars the best. Lean Body Gold bars and Rockin' Roll bars are both awesome. I'm not a big Met-Rx guy because all the sugar alcohols really upset my stomach and they really don't taste very good IMO.

I believe sugar alcohols are excluded because it's thought that they don't impact blood sugar levels and aren't fully digestible.
