Reviews on Haribo sugar-free gummy bears

 Gummy bears can be a lovely treat, but it's important to be aware of their ingredients before you reach for one. Some sugar-free gummy bears contain ingredients that have led to scathing and highly amusing online reviews. If you're unfortunate enough to experience these side effects, however, the experience is anything but enjoyable. Not everyone can enjoy what others can. Sometimes people come to the realization that something they like just doesn’t provide adequate nourishment for their body. They say yes, but their body says no. Obviously allergies and intolerances are clear-cut. And, like, say, you’re diabetic but want a sweet snack. In Haribo sugar free gummy bears, one of the ingredient is Malitol: it’s a sugar alcohol, which means it has the characteristics of sugar, but the body doesn’t process it in the same way. What is difficult to be broken down and takes time to be absorbed is instead fermented, creating gas. This gas gives you the 'bubble guts.' Additionally, maltitol in high quantities acts as an osmotic laxative, pulling moisture as it travels through your intestines. This will cause whatever comes out of your bottom end to be wet. 

User Experience for Haribo sugar-free gummy bears:

Hundreds of people visited the website prior to Haribo sugar free gummy bears being discontinued, sharing their own experiences of eating these sweets which they claimed were "from the depths of hell." While the bears might have looked innocent, they were manufactured with a sugar substitute called Lycasin, which contains the sugar alcohol Maltitol. When consumed in large quantities, Maltitol can cause bloating and diarrhea - something which is evident in Amazon reviews. 

A man named Joshua gave the treats one star and posted a particularly graphic but funny review comparing the aftermath of eating the Haribo sugar free gummy bear to an iconic scene from Game of Thrones, comparing the Haribo sugar free gummy bear as cute little bears from the depths of hell. Another review from a shopper wrote: I am writing this in the hope that future generations will break this vicious circle and never have to go through what happened. I couldn't sleep because I was farting and had to go to the bathroom every few minutes and the stench was like nothing I had ever smelled before.  "It felt like an atomic bomb had fallen in my gut."

Simply put, it is found that Haribo sugar-free gummies are more likely to go to the bathroom. It's all thanks to a harmless sugar alcohol called maltitol in an ingredient called lycasin. Sugar gummies are no exception when it comes to sugar alcohols and it is hilarious to discover, how wild the Amazon reviews section is for gummies

Reviews on Amazon:

While some believe that it is performing exactly as advertised, majority didnt have a good experience. They say, “Be sure to also buy a can of Oxyclean  to remove blood and diarrhea stains from underwear, clothes, furniture, pets, loved ones and ceiling fans." Another review read, “awesome and explosive”

Why is Haribo sugar free gummies harmful?

Sugar alcohols are found naturally in certain fruits and vegetables, but are also commonly added to processed sugar-free foods in place of sugar and other artificial sweeteners. At 2 calories per serving, it has fewer calories than sugar, but at calories per gram, it has more calories than artificial sweeteners like aspartame, which has no calories. 

Sugar alcohols are often found in foods marketed to diabetics because they do not affect blood sugar levels as much as sugar does. In the case of Haribo's sugar-free gummies, the main culprit of the sugar alcohol contained in the raw material licorice is maltitol. But it's not the only sugar alcohol that can cause unpleasant digestive problems. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics confirms that consuming  30 grams or more of  sugar alcohols such as lacticol, isomalt and xylitol has similar effects.
