I Just noticed that The sweetener I use (a blend of erythritol And stevia) contains 99g of polyols for 100g. What dose It Mean?

And how many net carbs are in 100g?

Sugar alcohols are a type of carbohydrates “ polyols " and include erythritol, maltitol, sorbitol, xylitol among others.

You can tell the net carbs by which type of sugar alcohol there using,
what are the ingredients?


(Adriana Ro) #3

Erythritol, Stevia extract, natural aromas.

Sugar alcohols vary in digestibility. Some, like erythritol, can be subtracted out completely. Others, like Xylitol and Maltitol, still have over 2 calories per gram, so should really only be half-subtracted.

I would say net carbs were zero.
