Does Sweet Simplicity® cause cavities?
Sweet Simplicity® sweetened with erythritol also contains a carbohydrate source (fructose), so it can contribute to the development of dental caries. However, the amount of carbohydrate (less than 1 gram per serving) is much less than an equivalent serving of sugar (4 grams of carbohydrate per serving). Sugar alcohols, including erythritol, are not acted upon by bacteria in the mouth and therefore do not cause tooth decay.
