Guest guest Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 from the website www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info Katy Sorbitol Illegal Sorbitol, mannitol, and xylitol are all sugar alcohols and are not SCD™ legal. They fall under the category of indigestible carbs and sugars, and so allow companies to label things 'sugar free', even though they are providing nutrition to the bacteria that live in your digestive tract. _____________________________________________________________Shop & save on a huge selection of bathroom accessories.
