Examples of sugar alcohol are:
Erythritol Glycerol (also known as glycerin or glycerine) Hydrogenated starch hydrolysates Isomalt Lactitol Maltitol Mannitol Sorbitol Xylitol
Even though they are called sugar alcohols, they do not contain alcohol.
When you’re considering foods with low- or reduced-calorie sweeteners, always check the Nutrition Facts on the label. Many of the food products containing these types of sweeteners still have a significant amount of carbohydrate, calories and fat, so never consider them a “free food” and always check the label. By comparing the calories in the sugar-free version to the regular version, you’ll see whether you’re really getting fewer calories.
You’ll also want to compare the fat content of the labels. There is often more saturated and or trans fat in sugar free products.
