Erythritol has a high digestive tolerance, is safe for people with diabetes, and does not promote tooth decay.
Erythritol, a polyol (sugar alcohol), is currently used as a bulk sweetener in reduced calorie foods. It has been part of the human diet for thousands of years as it is present in fruits such as pears, melons and grapes, as well as foods such as mushrooms and fermentation-derived foods such as wine, soy sauce and cheese.
