I will try to keep this simple concerning sugar alcohols
MFP has an entry for Sugars

My food item has:
Total Carbs: 17g
Fiber: 6g
Total Sugars: 2g
Sugar Alcohols: 6g

Is my entry 2g or or add in the 6g for a total of 8g Total Sugars?

    The "sugars" item is for total sugars. "Sugar Alcohols" got added to US food labels more recently, IMU still isn't fully implemented in MFP yet. In the phone/tablet app version of MFP, one can input sugar alcohols separately in the "Create Food" function. I'm not sure about web browser MFP, and I don't think it necessarily displays on all pages/reports yet.
