ARE POLYOLS UNHEALTHY

Polyols are sugar-free sweeteners. Polyols are carbohydrates but they are not sugars. They are used volume-for-volume in the same amount as sugar is used, unlike acesulfame potassium, aspartame, saccharin, and sucralose which are used in very small amounts. The most common polyols found in our diet are: erythritol, sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol, maltitol, lactitol and isomalt. These vary in sweetness, but all contain fewer calories than table sugar. They can be found naturally in certain fruits and vegetables, and are often used as sweeteners in “sugar-free” and “diet” products. However, a high intake of polyols can irritate the gut. This is because they aren’t absorbed well, and attract water to the intestine. This can lead to bloating, stomach pain and diarrhea. So, along with a healthy diet and lifestyle, using polyols to replace sugar can help you reduce your caloric intake and support weight loss, especially if you have a sweet tooth. Of course that is, if they don’t cause you stomach problems.
