erythritol

Calorie-free sugar alcohol

Erythritol is a sugar alcohol used as a low-calorie sweetener.

It occurs naturally in some fruits and fermented foods but is commercially produced for use in sugar-free products.

Unlike other sugar alcohols, erythritol is almost completely absorbed and excreted unchanged, causing fewer digestive side effects: The candy is sweetened with erythritol.
