  Erythritol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Erythritol (butane-1,2,3,4-tetraol) is a natural sugar alcohol (a type of sugar substitute) which has been approved for use in the United States and throughout much of the world.
Erythritol is also much more difficult for intestinal bacteria to digest, so it is unlikely to cause gas or bloating, unlike other common sugar alcohols such as maltitol, sorbitol, and lactitol.
Erythritol also has a propensity to crystallize and is not as soluble as sucrose, so ingredients may also be chosen to help negate this disadvantage.

 967. Sweetening agent: Erythritol (WHO Food Additives Series 44)
Erythritol treatment resulted in a dose-related decrease in the erythrocte and haemoglobin counts and in the haematocrits of animals of each sex, which were statistically significant in males at all doses and in females at the intermediate and high doses, although these parameters remained within the reference ranges reported in the literature.
Erythritol had no effect on survival: two male controls and six at the high dose and one female control and three at the low dose died or were killed in a moribund condition during the study, but these deaths were considered not to be related to treatment.
Erythritol caused a decrease in osmotic pressure that was unaffected by co-administration of electrolytes.

 Erythritol   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Erythritol occurs naturally and is produced naturally, and is used in its pure form.
Because erythritol occurs naturally and is produced naturally, it is very different from sweeteners such as Splenda® (sucralose) and Equal® (aspartame) that are artificially produced using a chemical process.
Compared to the other sweeteners classified as sugar alcohols, erythritol has the highest digestive tolerance, which is 2 to 3 times better compared to xylitol, lactitol, maltitol and isomalt, and 3 to 4 times better compared to sorbitol and mannitol.

Erythritol, because it is such a small molecule behaves differently from all other polyols in the way it passes through the human digestive system, and therefore has a unique metabolic profile.

As part of a group of sugar alcohols that include fructose, glucose and sucrose, erythritol is a sweetener that is produced from glucose through a natural fermentation process.
It is considered of value for sweetening foods as an additive since it can be absorbed in the body while not being metabolized, having the majority of it excreted through kidney.
Other sugar alcohols are rapidly digested, quickly absorbed, and deposited into the stomach with the unabsorbed portion going to the lower portion of the stomach resulting in the possibility of causing discomfort.
