Even in small quantities it can take away cravings, be satisfying, not cause your BGs to skyrocket and is even healthful in some ways. Where do you shop? Trader Joe's? Target?

More than strange, they have flavors but don't use food coloring to say what's what. A good thing, but tastebud guesswork! No "Caution: may have a laxative effect" on the container
> What do they use as a sweetener? Most of those sugar free candies have sugar alcohols and those act as a laxative in some people. Like me. :( I can't eat chocolate any more because of my GERD, but aside from that, I used to eat the Lindt 70%% or higher cocoa with no problems. Well you hit it on the head, im not sure what they are using, but they have a warning about the laxative
Watch out for "sugar free" fudge candy as well. they all use this (including sugar free Hershey syrup). Has the same effect on me. <misstammy@gmail.com> wrote in message news:b7145b2d-727e-463f-af48-6fe19eba0cde@f36g2000hsa.googlegroups.com... On Apr 17, 4:40 pm, "W.
