Maltitol and the Vegan Diet
Maltitol is a type of sugar alcohol, scientifically known as a polyol, and is used as a low-calorie sweetener. It is about 75-90% as sweet as sucrose (table sugar) and is often used in sugar-free candies, gums, chocolates, and baked goods. As a sugar alcohol, maltitol does not cause tooth decay and has a lower caloric content than regular sugar, making it a popular choice for those managing caloric intake and blood sugar levels.
