In our daily life, sugar refers to white sugar, brown sugar, honey, syrup and other added sugar. Doctors suggest that the daily intake of sugar should be controlled within 25 grams. Considering that sugar mainly provides energy and sweetness and provides less nutrition, the less sugar people eat, the better.
Sugar substitutes are actually sweeteners, which can be used as sweeteners. The common sugar substitutes are xylitol, erythritol, mogroside, stevioside, sucralose and so on. Xylitol, which people often see in chewing gum, is widely found in fruits and vegetables and grains, and its sweetness is close to that of white sugar. However, xylitol is absorbed slowly, so it can't be ingested too much, which is prone to diarrhea. Erythritol, like xylitol, has a certain content in vegetables and fruits, with pure sweetness and cool taste, which is lower in energy than xylitol and will not cause blood sugar to rise. Siraitia grosvenorii glycoside, which does not contain calories or raise blood sugar, is hundreds of times sweeter than sucrose. Stevioside does not contain calories or raise blood sugar, and its sweetness is higher than that of Siraitia grosvenorii. Sucralose does not provide energy, and it is almost as sweet as white sugar. The last three sugar substitutes are used in combination with erythritol.
To sum up, erythritol is better and safer than other sugar substitutes.
