Erythritol is a small molecular substance, which is the smallest among all kinds of sugar alcohols. After it enters the human body, it cannot be decomposed by the enzyme system in the body, does not participate in human metabolism, and its calorie is almost zero. After eating, it will not make people fat, nor will it affect the increase of blood sugar.
2. Erythritol is 90% absorbed by small intestine and excreted with urine, and the remaining 10% enters large intestine, which is not easy to be fermented by human intestinal flora. The tolerance of human body to erythritol is the highest among sugar alcohols, and moderate consumption is not easy to cause gastrointestinal discomfort such as abdominal distension and diarrhea.
3. Erythritol will not be decomposed by bacteria, so you don't have to worry about tooth decay after eating it, and it can also effectively prevent dental caries.
However, if you eat erythritol in large quantities for a long time, the nutritional composition is single, which is easy to cause malnutrition, and its calorie is low, so you will still want to eat other high-calorie foods. After adding erythritol to other foods, although the calories are low, it is not without calories. Eating too much will make you fat, become more dependent on sweets, and eat more and more sweetly, which will affect your health.
Does erythritol grow acne? number
Some foods with high sugar content in life, such as ice cream, cake and cream, have high sugar content. Eating too much will lead to acne, because high-sugar foods will stimulate insulin secretion and lower blood sugar. If insulin increases, it will lead to changes in other hormone levels, which will lead to the destruction of the dynamic balance of the whole system and the aggravation of acne. On the other hand, high-sugar food is high in calorie intake, which will stimulate sebaceous glands to secrete more oil and lead to acne, but erythritol, although sweet in taste, does not affect blood sugar and has no calorie intake, so it will not get acne after eating it.
Can pregnant women eat erythritol instead of sugar? Can be eaten in moderation.
Erythritol has no obvious side effects, so pregnant women can eat it in moderation. Moreover, after pregnancy, the metabolic burden of glucose will increase, which is prone to the phenomenon of relatively insufficient insulin and elevated blood sugar. Eating erythritol instead of white sugar in life can avoid affecting blood sugar and is beneficial to the health of pregnant women, especially those with hyperglycemia.
Can erythritol be eaten directly? Generally, it is not eaten directly, but used as a sweetener in food.
The sweetness of erythritol is only 60%-70% of sucrose. Erythritol has a cool taste, pure taste and no post-bitterness. It can be used in combination with a high-power sweetener to suppress the bad taste of its high-power sweetener, and is usually used as a sweetener in food.
