Erythritol
(also organic)

Erythritol is a non-caloric sugar substitute that is 70% as sweet as sucrose, but without the negative metabolic effects. Erythritol belongs to the category of sugar alcohols, which are chemically similar to sugar but are not digested by your body. As a result, it provides essentially no caloric energy, which makes it great for people trying to get on a low carb or low sugar diet, but who still have a sweet tooth to satisfy. Erythritol also tends to be kinder to your gastrointestinal tract. That’s because erythritol is not metabolized very well by bacteria. Another benefit of its resistance to bacterial metabolism is a decreased tendency to cause cavities compared to regular sugar. Physically similar to sucrose, erythritol helps manufacturers completely or partially replace sugars without sacrificing texture or taste.
