Facts About Erythritol
Erythritol is a zero-calorie sweetener that looks and tastes like sugar. Erythritol is used to reduce the sugar content in reduced calorie foods and beverages and support weight management.
Erythritol has a sweet clean taste with no aftertaste and can be beneficial for people living with diabetes because it does not raise blood glucose or insulin levels. It has also been clinically shown to reduce dental plaque weight and dentin caries.
Erythritol occurs naturally in pears, melons, grapes, and mushrooms, as well as fermented foods such as wine, soy sauce and cheese. Since 1990, erythritol has been commercially made via fermentation and added to foods and beverages to provide sweetness, as well as enhance their taste and texture.
Erythritol is a proven safe and effective choice for sugar and calorie reduction.
