Simple question: When you calculate the HC of a pastry pastry dessert or some product of the Dayelet range (which are the ones I use), do you tell the total HC that Maltitol has?I say it because the polyalcohols are absorbed a bit "halfway" when they pass to the intestine, and I understood that you can absorb approx.50% of HC.So, do you count the HC of dessert taking into account that the polyalcohols are approx 95% HC?Or do you count less?
