Erythritol is a natural sweetener without added chemicals like chlorine. It is perfectly safe to use on the yeast free eating program, and is safe for diabetics and hypoglycemics because it does not affect glucose or insulin levels. Since it is not absorbed in the large intestine, you should not experience gastrointestinal upset (gas, bloating, diarrhea) due to ingesting any particular amount. Erythritol is the perfect fit for those who want a healthy life style.
