Features

• Erythritol Sweetener is a sugar alcohol that is created by a process that involves fermenting glucose but is used as sugar and considered just as natural.

Benefits

• Unlike regular sugar, the Erythritol Sweetener does not raise insulin levels or plasma glucose which means that diabetics would be capable of using this product.

Considerations

• Although Erythritol Sweetener is a sweetening agent, it is only 70 percent as sweet as regular sugar and really doesn't dissolve as well either.

Potential

• Eventually, health officials look to replace the sugar contents of food products with Erythritol in hopes improving flavors at the same time as reducing the caloric content of foods.

Warning

• Large doses of Erythritol Sweetener should not be consumed due to a possible laxative effect in adults and children, as with most sugar alcohols.
