Erythritol – Organic

Organic Erythritol is a naturally occurring sugar alcohol found in fruits like pears, grapes, and melons, as well as mushrooms. Made from organic, non-GMO plant sources, it provides a clean, sweet taste with a refreshing finish.

This versatile, shelf-stable sweetener can be used in baking, cooking, beverages, and confections as a substitute for traditional sugar. With its smooth texture and mild cooling effect, organic erythritol is a popular choice for a wide variety of recipes.

1. Erythritol has been part of the human diet for thousands of years due to its natural presence in pears, melons, mushrooms, and other foods.
2. Erythritol is about 80% as sweet as table sugar, yet it is almost non-caloric; it does not affect blood sugar, does not cause tooth decay, is absorbed in the small intestine, and is eliminated by the body within 24 hours.
3. Erythritol was discovered in 1848 by British chemist John Stenhouse.

Is Erythritol Sweetener the Best Sugar Substitute?
– No calories, virtually sweet as sugar (80%), certified tooth-friendly, no dangerous blood sugar spikes, AND a healthy antioxidant!

Erythritol is a polyol that is another name for a type of sugar substitute (sugar alcohol) which has been approved for use in the United States and throughout much of the world.

Erythritol occurs naturally in mushrooms, fermented foods, and various fruits, such as grapes, melons, and pears, and it is also found in supplement form as a crystalline powder. Laxative side effects sometimes associated with excessive polyol consumption are unlikely when consuming Erythritol.

Erythritol has been certified as tooth-friendly. The sugar alcohol cannot be metabolized by oral bacteria and does not contribute to tooth decay. Interestingly, Erythritol exhibits some, but not all, of xylitol’s tendency to “starve” harmful bacteria. Unlike xylitol, Erythritol is absorbed into the bloodstream after consumption but before excretion.

A new study from The Netherlands says Erythritol may exert a strong antioxidant activity which may protect the vascular health of people with diabetes.13

The study with diabetic rats found that the sweetener could protect the cells lining the blood vessels from oxidative stress, a key process in the development of heart disease, according to findings from researchers from Maastricht University and Tate & Lyle.

Some possible benefits of our Organic Erythritol may include the following:

1. Clean tastes like regular sugar (about 80% as sweet as sugar) without the adverse effects
2. Does not promote tooth decay
3. Zero-calorie
4. Safe for people with diabetes (0 on the glycemic scale)
5. Clean sweet taste with no aftertaste
6. Low laxative effect
7. Possibly reducing the glycemic impact of food/beverage, thereby minimizing the effects of hyperglycemia-induced free radical formation
8. Protecting the cells lining the blood vessels from oxidative stress
9. High digestive tolerance
10. Listed by U.S. FDA as a GRAS (generally recognized as safe) substance, the highest-safety designation, like foodstuffs
