sorbitol
Polyol food additive
Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol used as a sweetener in sugar-free candies, gums, and diet foods.
It occurs naturally in some fruits but is usually manufactured from glucose.
Because the body absorbs it slowly, sorbitol has less effect on blood sugar than regular sugar, making it popular in diabetic products.
In large amounts it can cause digestive discomfort, which is why sugar-free products often carry warnings about excessive consumption.
