  I'm honestly surprised.I think everyone around here knows about that. Is that not talked about in the US? :S
  
  It's not so bad. Just don't consume them in masses all the time. Evne if you overdo it, a little diarrhea once every few months won't kill ya, and I don't think it causes villous atrophy. :P

  
  
  It's not talked about in the US that much as there is a lack of sugar free substances in our society aside from diet crap that tastes nasty. I always thought that sugar free stuff tasted nasty.
  
  Reading those reviews though I couldn't contain my laughter.

  There are two reasons why people are getting diarrhea from eating these gummy bears.
  
  1. They taste EXACTLY like the ones made with sugar and therefore people eat them in large quantities.
  
  2. The biggest factor is that the sugar substitute is lycasin which when consumed in large quantities causes lycasin poisoning which WILL cause diarrhea.
  
  Study where volunteers were given a moderate amount of lycasin and other sugar substitutes and then viewing the effects.
