Lactitol and the Vegan Diet
Lactitol is a sugar alcohol that is commonly used as a low-calorie sweetener. It is derived from lactose, which is a sugar found in milk. Lactitol provides about 40% of the sweetness of sugar and is often used in sugar-free candies, baked goods, and ice creams. It is considered a low-calorie substitute because it is not fully absorbed by the body, thus providing fewer calories than regular sugar.
