Erythritol is a natural sugar alcohol commonly used as a sugar substitute in various foods and beverages. This sweetener is renowned for its unique properties, as it provides sweetness without the calories and blood sugar effects normally associated with regular sugar. Erythritol has almost no calories, so it is preferred by those who want to reduce calories or regulate blood sugar levels. Unlike some other sugar alcohols, it is well tolerated by most people and less likely to cause digestive upset. Erythritol can often be found in sugar-free and low-calorie products, including sugar-free candy, chewing gum and diet drinks, as it provides a sweet taste without the guilt or potential health problems associated with excessive sugar consumption.
