What is Erythritol?
Erythritol is a sugar alcohol naturally found in certain fruits and fermented foods. It has recently gained popularity as a low-calorie sugar substitute due to its sweetness and negligible caloric content. Erythritol is produced by fermenting glucose with yeast or fungi, and it has been approved for use as a food additive by numerous regulatory agencies worldwide.Low in calories: Erythritol has a very low caloric content; its value is 0. 2 calories per gram for food labeling purposes in the United States and 0 (zero) calories per gram.
High digestive tolerance: Erythritol is rapidly absorbed in the small intestine due to its small molecular size and structure.
Safe for diabetes' person: Single dose and 14-day clinical studies demonstrate erythritol does not affect blood serum glucose levels.
Do not cause tooth decay: Erythritol, like other polyols, is resistant to metabolism by oral bacteria, which break down sugars and starches to produce acids, which may lead to tooth enamel loss and cavities formation. According to a 3-year study in 485 school children, erythritol was even more protective against dental caries than xylitol and sorbitol.
