carbs on protein bar

Question, i just got some protein bars,  nutrition facts say.. total carbs..27g. dietary fiber ..5g sugar ..2g sugar alcohol 19g so does it mean its only 3grams of net carb or is the sugar alcohol something i need to watch out for.  is this a protein bar tht i can snack on daily or should i look for something else.it does have 17g of protein cal. 230. Be blessed.

I do not know about carbs, but I can not handle the sugar alcohol.  The onlyone I can tolerate is Adkins Advantage Carmel Bar--Chocolate Peanut Nogunt. 

That's my favorite!  It's so close to a Snickers!

Some folks say yes, you can deduct the sugar alcohols from the total carbs, just like you deduct fiber from the total carbs to get your net carbs.    I believe the theory is that sugar alcohols are not suppose to trigger insulin response like regular sugars do - so don't react like a normal carb.
