xylitol and carbs what gives?

[jetfan]

So I found xylitol, on line, and when It arrived on label it lists four carbs what gives ? I am confused. I twas told  it was very low in carbs.
 I did get a bottle of Zero.

Hi jetfan!

Pure xylitol has no NET carbs.
The carbs listed are from "sugar alcohols" which are not counted toward the daily 20.
Xylitol is a sugar alcohol.

Like regular cane sugar, one teaspoon of xylitol weighs 4 grams.
Thus, 4 grams total carbs.

You will like the FTS Zero much more!

I switched to only Zero.  Sugar alcohols can cause "intestinal distress" and I got tired of wonder if I could leave home if I ate a cookie made with xylitol.

I found that too.  I was sooooo confused.  I even went on their website.  I realised they hadn't listed the sugar alcohols on the packaging (so you could subtract them from the listed carbs)  whew.
