Is maltitol a safe sugar substitute?

Healthy PIG

Maltitol is a sugar alcohol. Sugar alcohols are naturally found in some fruits and vegetables. They are also considered carbohydrates. Sugar alcohols are usually manufactured and not used in their natural form. They are sweet, but not as sweet as sugar, and they have almost half the calories. They can also be found in certain drugs. In addition to adding sweetness instead of sugar, maltitol and other sugar alcohols help keep food moist and help prevent browning. When you check the label, please note that maltitol may also be listed as sorbitol or xylitol. It is sometimes even classified as a sugar alcohol because it falls into this category.
