I use to do Wilton-type cake decorating, and would buy glycerine at the drug store, used to keep the frosting colors soft, so I know it is 'supposed to be' safe to eat.
I heard that glycerine can be used to keep ice cream soft in sugar free recipes (usually 4 teaspoons per 3 cups of cream). I understand it has about 12 to 15 carbs per tablespoon, but I have read that the carbs in glycerine has no impact on blood sugar. Is glycerine unhealthy or whatever, and does anyone ever use it, and did it impact your bg?
