Sugar Alcohol and the Vegan Diet

Sugar alcohols, also known as polyols, are a type of low-calorie sweetener commonly used as sugar substitutes in various food products. They are chemically similar to sugar and alcohol but do not contain ethanol. Common sugar alcohols include sorbitol, xylitol, and erythritol. They provide a sweet taste with fewer calories than regular sugar and are often found in sugar-free and reduced-calorie products.
