Erythritol and the Vegetarian Diet
Erythritol is a sugar alcohol, also known as a polyol, that is used as a low-calorie sweetener. It occurs naturally in some fruits and fermented foods and is produced commercially by fermenting glucose with yeast. Erythritol is about 60-70% as sweet as sucrose (table sugar) but has almost no calories and does not raise blood sugar levels, which makes it popular for use in sugar-free and low-calorie products.
