How Sweet is Erythritol?
• Erythritol has not been found to affect blood sugar or insulin levels and has a zero glycemic index • Erthyritol has a clean, sweet taste. I’ve found that its more similar in taste to sugar than other natural sweeteners such as stevia (which can be bitter) • In reasonable amounts, Erythritol doesnt cause digestive upset and diarrhea that other sugar alcohols like sorbitol and xylitol are known to cause. This is because Erythritol is a smaller molecule and 90 percent of Erythritol is absorbed in the small intestine and for the most part excreted unchanged in urine.
