Health potential of polyols as sugar replacers

· They are non-cariogenic (sugar-free tooth-friendly)

· low-glycaemic (potentially helpful in diabetes and cardiovascular disease)

· low-energy and low-insulinaemic (potentially helpful in obesity)

· low-digestible (potentially helpful in the colon)

· osmotic (colon-hydrating, laxative and purifying)

· polyols have fewer calories than sugars

Foods that are sweetened with polyols have been of interest to people with diabetes for many years since they do not cause sudden increases in blood sugar levels.

Food lable

If you look at the ingredient list you will find that many of these foods contain one or

more of the following ingredients: erythritol, hydrogenated starch hydrolysates (sometimes listed as maltitol syrup, hydrogenated glucose syrup, polyglycitol, polyglucitol or simply “HSH”), isomalt, lactitol, maltitol, mannitol, sorbitol and xylitol

These ingredients are all polyols.

Oral Health

polyols do not promote tooth decay (cavities) because bacteria in the mouth cannot easily change polyols to acids that can damage teeth.

Excessive use of Polyols (toxicity)

In some people, excessive consumption of polyol-containing foods may cause gastrointestinal symptoms, including laxative effects, similar to reactions to beans and certain high-fiber foods.
