O Que É Erythritol?
Erythritol is a sugar alcohol naturally found in some fruits and fermented foods, widely used as a sugar substitute. It offers a low-calorie alternative to sugar, providing about 70% of the sweetness of sucrose with minimal impact on blood sugar levels. It is commonly used in sugar-free and keto-friendly products.
"Unlike some other sugar alcohols, erythritol is largely absorbed in the small intestine and excreted, minimizing digestive discomfort for most people."
