This fiber turns to sugar in your gut, beware!
I was really excited about these and even bought the big pack (my wallet is still furious with me). The taste is pretty good, close enough to Swedish fish, and they looked like they fit in my macros. After some research though, I learned that the kind of fiber used to give this candy a low net carb is not the kind of fiber that makes a true net carb. Net carbs work when fiber that is not digestible passes and therefore cancels out some carbs. The fiber in this candy is digestible and therefore a carb in the end as it breaks down into glucose. This will spike your blood sugar (as other reviews have pointed out) and sadly, sabotage your careful eating with false promises. If avoiding sugar is your goal, steer clear. Will taste good going down though. Wonder how many sugars and calories these really are...
