ERYTHRITOL

Erythritol is a low-calorie natural sweetener sourced from China. Erythritol adds sweetness but is low on the glycemic index, it’s the sweetener of choice for many people with diabetes. It doesn’t contain sugar or alcohol since its made from fermented natural sugars from corn.

Erythritol belongs to the family of sugar alcohols, also known as polyols, which are formed due to the hydrolysis processes of the aldehyde or ketone group in various carbohydrates.

If you add one teaspoon of sugar to your tea, one spoon of erythritol should do (volume for volume). Erythritol is added to many packaged foods, snacks and drink items. Some examples of where you’ll find it include: zero calorie and/or diet sodas and drinks, sports and energy drinks, sugar-free gums and mints and other sweets, chocolate products, frostings, dairy desserts  packaged grain-based desserts (such as cakes and cookies) as well as toothpaste.
