I do not know what it is, is there a website I googled w/o success, is it a brand or local or in store or a stand? I have done some sf ixce creams they make me nauseated sometimes and sleepy, watch the calories as well. ad the sugar alohols sometimes... I make frozen proten shakes yummy they help this craving here are some of my recipes:

Hiya Jamie, The webpage is: http://www.tastidlite.com/ The website says:

Is Tasti D·Lite sugar free?

Tasti D·Lite is sweetened with a small quantity of natural sugar. We do NOT use Nutrasweet, Splenda, Saccharin, Aspartame, or any other artificial sweetener.

Notice it doesn't say they use or don't use Sugar Alcohols!! I haven't had any sugar yet, nor will I. And, I avoid any sugar free products for a few reasons, the main one being the sugar alcohols have always been deadly to my tummy.....even pre-op....so I won't dare try now. Also...to be honest, I fear having anything that even comses close to what used to be my "binge" foods. I fear it will trigger cravings for those old favorites and/or become a NEW binge food! If I like it too much, I'll want it all the time. For myself, that's a slippery slope, so I avoid anything like sugar free ice cream, candy, cookies etc. I believe I ama Sugar Addict so those sugar free poducts are too close for comfort, so to speak. Again: this is my belief for myself, personally; I don't want to sound like I'm judging people who eat sugar free goodies! Hugs to all, Karen

While we're on the subject of Lite Ice Cream shops...I found this interesting: http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?sec=health&res=9F 04E6DB1338F931A35753C1A9649C8B63 (wow that's a long URL!!! If that doesn't work try this:  http://starturl.com/tvezl Have a great weekend, everyone! -Karen

WOW I read the article on false advertising surely we need to watch portion sizes huh! http://www.tastidlite.com/pages/tasti-nutrition.html they are VAGUE on nutrition info...no sugar alcohols but it has sugar and corn syrup id steer clear wt gain or dump city!

 

I agree SF is wolf in sheeps clothing and I can attest to the slippery slope calories stil cont yeah I eat F cokies but they trigger  me awful ful of carbs as well.........
