Sorbitol4
- Xylitol and sorbitol are popular sugar alcohols in commercial foods. (wikipedia.org)
- Unlike sugars, which tend to exist as rings, sugar alcohols do not-although they can be dehydrated to give cyclic ethers (e.g. sorbitol can be dehydrated to isosorbide). (wikipedia.org)
- currently, sorbitol and mannitol are obtained by hydrogenation of sugars, using Raney nickel catalysts. (wikipedia.org)
- Foods that increase gas production include any with poorly digestible carbohydrates (for example, dietary fiber such as in baked beans and cabbage), certain sugars (such as fructose), lactose-containing foods (such as milk), or sugar alcohols (such as sorbitol ), and fats. (msdmanuals.com)
Small intestine3
- Sugar alcohols are usually incompletely absorbed into the blood stream from the small intestine which generally results in a smaller change in blood glucose than "regular" sugar (sucrose). (wikipedia.org)
- As an exception, erythritol is actually absorbed in the small intestine and excreted unchanged through urine, so it contributes no calories even though it is rather sweet. (wikipedia.org)
- Like many other incompletely digestible substances, overconsumption of sugar alcohols can lead to bloating, diarrhea and flatulence because they are not fully absorbed in the small intestine. (wikipedia.org)
Sweeteners3
- Sugar alcohols are used widely in the food industry as thickeners and sweeteners. (wikipedia.org)
- In commercial foodstuffs, sugar alcohols are commonly used in place of table sugar (sucrose), often in combination with high-intensity artificial sweeteners, in order to offset their low sweetness. (wikipedia.org)
- These sweeteners are neither sugars, nor alcohols, but they are carbohydrates nonetheless. (lowcarb.ca)
Starch1
- At the present time, they have not been legally classified for product labelling purposes, as are sugars, starch and fiber. (lowcarb.ca)
Lactose3
- Many people cannot digest the sugar lactose (a condition called lactose intolerance), which is in milk and other dairy products. (msdmanuals.com)
- Alpha galactosidase can digest the milk sugar lactose (milk sugar) into glucose and galactose, reducing potential bloating and other gut problems from milk. (bioptimizers.com)
- Lactase breaks down lactose, a disaccharide, into simple sugars. (bioptimizers.com)
Mannitol1
- Mannitol also can absorb a lot of moisture before it gets damp and sticky, therefore it's used to 'dust' sticks of gum, to keep them dry. (lowcarb.ca)
Bacteria3
- Sugar alcohols are not metabolized by oral bacteria, and so they do not contribute to tooth decay. (wikipedia.org)
- Sugar alcohols are not acted upon by bacteria in the mouth, and therefore do NOT cause tooth decay. (lowcarb.ca)
- FODMAPs are poorly absorbed and rapidly fermented by bacteria in the intestines, leading to increased gas and discomfort. (msdmanuals.com)

- As long as what's being absorbed are fluids and nutrients. (julieclarknutrition.co.uk)
- At this point incompletely digested nutrients, microbes (infectious or friendly), toxins, or waste products can more easily get into our bodies. (julieclarknutrition.co.uk)
- Not to mention that if foods, even healthy foods, aren't properly digested, their nutrients aren't properly absorbed. (julieclarknutrition.co.uk)
- The main problem with digestive issues is nutrient deficiency since the gut can't properly digest, assimilate, and absorb nutrients. (bioptimizers.com)
- Digestive enzymes break down food and nutrients into smaller molecules we can absorb. (bioptimizers.com)
Maltitol1
- however, sugar alcohols derived from disaccharides (e.g. maltitol and lactitol) are not entirely hydrogenated because only one aldehyde group is available for reduction. (wikipedia.org)
Sucrose2
- Sugar alcohols are absorbed at 50% of the rate of sugars, resulting in less of an effect on blood sugar levels as measured by comparing their effect to sucrose using the glycemic index. (wikipedia.org)
- As a group, sugar alcohols are not as sweet as sucrose, and they have slightly less food energy than sucrose. (wikipedia.org)
Dietary2
- Dietary factors like too much sugar or alcohol or even eating things that you're intolerant to can all contribute to leaky gut. (julieclarknutrition.co.uk)

Free3
- In addition to their sweetness, some sugar alcohols can produce a noticeable cooling sensation in the mouth when highly concentrated, for instance in sugar-free hard candy or chewing gum. (wikipedia.org)
- Because they aren't actually SUGAR, products that contain them may use the term 'sugar free' on the label. (lowcarb.ca)
- OTHER PROPERTIES Solutions of paraquat become intensely purple on reduction, due to the formation of a water soluble, relatively stable free radical, which absorbs at 400 nm. (inchem.org)
Diabetics1
- Some Type 1 diabetics have reported that they sense an immediate 'sugar rush' from eating even a small amount. (lowcarb.ca)
Body3

- You don't want to absorb many harmful microbes or toxins into your body, right? (julieclarknutrition.co.uk)
- These smaller molecules are easier to absorb and transport throughout the body. (bioptimizers.com)
Pass2
- Your intestinal tract purposefully keeps some things from being absorbed, so they pass right on through to the other end to be eliminated as waste. (julieclarknutrition.co.uk)

- SOLUBILITY Very soluble in water, slightly soluble in lower alcohols, insoluble in hydrocarbons. (inchem.org)
Erythritol3
- As an exception, erythritol is actually absorbed in the small intestine and excreted unchanged through urine, so it contributes no calories even though it is rather sweet. (wikipedia.org)
- The one exception to this is erythritol, which only has 0.2 calories per gram, making it 95% less caloric than table sugar. (zerolongevity.com)
- Like erythritol, Allulose is found in small quantities in nature, and it's only about 70% as sweet as regular sugar. (zerolongevity.com)
