maltitol
Low-calorie sugar alcohol
Maltitol is a sugar alcohol used as a low-calorie sweetener in sugar-free candies, chocolates, and baked goods.
It has about 75-90% of sugar's sweetness but fewer calories and a lower glycemic impact, making it popular in diabetic-friendly products.
Like other sugar alcohols, it can cause digestive discomfort when consumed in large amounts: I ate too many maltitol gummy bears and paid for it.
