I just ate a power bar (Reduced sugar), so it is listed as only having 1 gram of sugar, but it has 23 grams of sugar alcohol.
What are the health benefits/detriments to sugar alcohol?

    As far as I know, sugar alcohol has minimal effects on your blood sugar. Regular sugar would spike it.

    Depends how sensitive you are to it. Sugar alcohol gives me what I call "intestinal befunkitude" every time I eat it. So I guess it depends on your body.
