Erythritol Erythritol is a natural Sugar Alcohol which is a type of sugar substitute. It has a CLEAN SWEET TASTE! Erythritol in its pure form is a white crystalline powder, not unlike sugar. Is about 70% as sweet as sugar, but it has virtually no calories. Many sites claim that Erythritol is 0 calories but in reality it is at 0.2 calories per gram. That is almost 99% LESS than sugar. Because the calories is so small, for labeling purposes, Erythritol has 0 calorie value. One of the great things about Erythritol is that it does not really affect blood sugar levels, as a result it is safe for diabeties! According to many different clinical studies, it has been demonstrated that Erythritol does not affect blood serum glucose OR insulin levels.

The FDA has approved the use of the "does not promote tooth decay" health claim in foods containing Erythritol.
