What is Erythritol?
Erythritol is a sugar substitute that is NO sugar, low-carb, easy to use and will NOT affect your blood sugar levels if you are a Diabetic. Perfect for sticking to your Keto diet!
Erythritol is a sugar alcohol that contains almost no calories, is low-carb, does not affect your blood sugar and does not cause tooth decay.
Though Erythritol is a sugar alcohol, it has nothing to do with drinking alcohol. Other sugar alcohols include xylitol, sorbitol, mannitol, lactitol, and maltitol, many of which show up on the labels of all sorts of sugar-free products.
I would not be exaggerating if I said Erythritol was an “almost” perfect sugar substitute for anyone who is diabetic or is on a low-carb or ketogenic diet.

What Is The Downside Of Erythritol?
Erythritol can cause side effects including diarrhea, stomach discomfort and headaches in some people. This often happens if you consume it in large quantities. The solution to this is to start with very small quantities and let your body get used to it.
