The only low-ish carb syrup I could find at my supermarket was
SMucker's, which is sweetened with sorbitol. Is that an acceptable sugar
alcohol for low carbers?

Thanks,

Sammy

Whether it's acceptable or not depends on whether you tolerate it
(including not having blood sugar/insulin problems) and like the taste
or not. Don't let other people's problems deter you from making the
best choices for you.

I personally use (mumblemumble-Something) Leaf sugarfree found at my
local Food 4 Less (extremely cheap, half the price of the big name
brands), and also Log Cabin sugarfree. Both use sorbitol. No problems
as far as I can tell, but I'm getting a meter soon to test for sure.

sweetener.

Well, the taste of the Smucker's wasn't all that, but it wasn't too bad.
When I'm' finished, I'll try the Davinci - I love their syrups.
