Emerald Forest Erythritol, Single Serve Packets, 100-Count Single Serve Packets (Pack of 3)
Emerald Forest Erythritol is a sweeter, healthier, smarter choice than other sweeteners. Our Erythritol is made from all natural sugar. It's safe for diabetics: it scores a zero on the glycemic index - sugar is 68. Therefore, erythritol doesn’t affect blood sugar or insulin levels. It has 0.2 calories per gram and zero carbohydrates. It's slightly less sweet than sugar (or xylitol). It's ideal for baking, and sweetening coffee, tea or cereal. Classified as a sugar alcohol or polyol, erythritol can be manufactured from starches or extracted from plants. It’s naturally occurring in our bodies, and can be found in some fruits and vegetables. Sugar alcohols like erythritol and xylitol are dental friendly. It cannot be metabolized by oral bacteria so it doesn’t contribute to tooth decay. Sugar alcohols create an alkaline environment in the mouth instead of an acidic environment. Erythritol is unique among sugar alcohols as 90% is absorbed, but not metabolized, in the small intestine and then eliminated through normal bodily functions. As a result, it has the highest digestive tolerance of all sugar alcohols. Erythritol is made from sugar which is then liquefied and a natural fermentation ingredient is added. The solution is purified by ultra filtration and is then crystallized resulting in erythritol with a purity of over 99.5%. The manufacture of erythritol complies with FDA regulations. Erythritol has a low molecular weight which means it won’t brown the way other sugars do when baked but it will extend the shelf life of products it’s used in. The benefits of using erythritol as a healthy alternative to sugar and as part of a comprehensive program including proper dental hygiene have been recognized by the American Dental Association.
