1. Erythritol is 60%~70% as sweet as cane sugar while it is almost non-caloric, does not affect blood sugar, or cause tooth decay, and is totally absorbed by the body, therefore unlikely to cause gastric side effects like other sugar alcohols.2. Erythritol is a good-tasting bulk sweetener which is suitable for a variety of reduced- calorie and sugar-free foods. 3. Erythritol has been part of the human diet for thousands of years due to its presence in fruits and other foods4. Erythritol is present in fruits such as pears, melons and grapes, as well as foods such as mushrooms and fermentation-derived foods such as wine, soy sauce and cheese. Since 1990, erythritol has been commercially produced and added to foods and beverages to provide sweetness, as well as enhance their taste and texture.
