Xylitol is a sugar that many people know, many people with diabetes in the choice of food will also recognize xylitol, when people have eaten xylitol also want to try other sugars, but also want to know which sugar in the process of eating safer, then xylitol and erythritol which is safer, erythritol and xylitol which is good, the difference is what?

Xylitol and erythritol are common sweeteners, the two are relatively healthy, but the two taste and other aspects of some differences, I'm following the specific introduction:

1, the taste is different: xylitol sweetness and sucrose is relatively close to the xylitol dissolved in water will absorb the heat, this sugar in the process of eating will produce a sense of coolness. The sweetness of erythritol is lower than that of xylitol, and it is also cooler in the process of eating.

2, calories are different: xylitol is a caloric sugar alcohol, and erythritol is a natural 0 calorie health sugar alcohol, so the two compared to erythritol is more healthy, erythritol on the impact of blood sugar is smaller.

3, the human body absorption rate is different: xylitol is absorbed by the body through the liver metabolism, part of the glucose will be converted to glucose, the other part will be oxidized, this sugar in the body will cause changes in blood glucose value after absorption. And erythritol will be discharged with the urine after entering the body, will not be digested by the body enzyme decomposition, and not involved in the body sugar metabolism, so it will not affect the blood glucose value.

The above is the difference between erythritol and xylitol, the two compared to erythritol is relatively more secure, you can choose according to their own needs to suit their own sugar alcohol.
