Do Think Bars Have Sugar Alcohol?

Do high protein bars have net carbs?

We do not calculate net carbs on our High Protein bars. Many people calculate net carbs differently, account for different ingredients when making the calculation such as glycerin, and there is no FDA definition for calculating net carbs. No matter which calculation you use to calculate net carbs, the total amount of carbs has not increased …

Vegetable glycerin is still in the think! bars at the same amount as it was in the thinkThin bars. Vegetable glycerin is a liquid originating from plant oils. The FDA defines sugar alcohols for nutrition labeling purposes as derived from saccharides (carbs), whereas vegetable glycerin is derived from triglycerides (fat).

What are the ingredients in nutrition bars?

Answer: Maltitol, lactitol, and other sugar alcohols like erythritol, glycerol, sorbitol and xylitol are a common ingredient in nutrition bars because they add sweetness, but have fewer calories than sugar and less of an impact on blood sugar.

Be aware that unless a bar is labeled as “sugar free,” manufacturers are not required to list exactly how much sugar alcohol it contains on the label. For this reason, ConsumerLab.com determines the amount of sugar alcohol in each bar it reviews, and identified bars with low and/or high levels.
