The quote you provided was considerably scanty on specifics... I don't much care who wrote it or where it was published. Out of context quotes simply don't provide the information.

Regardless of your amusement at my particular choice of quote, you still haven't addressed the questions I raised about YOUR conclusions and bald (not balanced) statements. Not the textbooks, your conclusions as stated above.

But never mind all that, as I've said before the verbal ping pong is immaterial.

As for the bars with no sugar alcohols, I've easily found the KETO bars (glycerine only, no *-itol(s) at all) and SOME of the Designer Whey bars, with careful reading of the labels, have only glycerine/glycerol as a bulk sweetener (its main role in the food industry, don't flame ME) and softener/texturizer. Presumably the Atkins' Advantage bars, some of them anyway, don't have any sugar alcohols? I hope you would know.
