SUGAR ALCOHOLS

SUGAR ALCOHOLS

Sugar Alcohols are derived from regular sugar.

But unlike sugar, most sugar alcohols are not metabolized by the body.

As a result they don't increase blood sugar levels* and are keto-friendly.

* apart from Sorbitol, Xylitol and Maltitol that do!

They are however often linked with upset guts.
