    Sorbitol? ok while cutting???

    the reason i ask is i just got some vermont sugar free syrup and it says that it has 4 grams of carbs with 3 g sorbitol acounting for most of the carbs. Just wondering if sorbitol impacts insulin levels or if it is not ok to consume while cutting.



    syrup ingredients: water, sorbitol, natural and artificial maple flavor, cellulose gum, sucralose, salt, citric acid, potassium Sorbate and sodium Benzoate to preserve freshness, zinc lactate, niacinamide, d-calcium pantothenate, pyridoxine hydrochloride, thiamine mononitrate, cyanocobalamin.

    Hey man thats wierd, but i did a search and found out that excess amounts of sugar alcohols are not ideal but i still don't know whether to use this or not!!! maybe we could get someone to clear it up for us since we will only be getting like 2-3grams sugar alcohol!!
