- Are they safe?
- Sugar replacers (polyols) have been used in foods around the world for many years
- An Expert Committee of the World Health Organization has carefully reviewed them and concluded that they are safe for human consumption!
Or, What are disadvantages of polyols? The disadvantages of polyols: They can’t be dissolved in water, so they have to be associated with a fat molecule; a lot of the “light” products which contain polyols provide a similar amount of calories as the original products due to the presence of lipids, not because of the sugar
Is polyol good for health? Although polyols are not essential nutrients, they contribute to clinically recognised maintenance of a healthy colonic environment and function A role for polyols and polyol foods to hydrate the colonic contents and aid laxation is now recognised by physicians
ensuite, Are apples polyols? Polyols cause more symptoms for those with sensitive GI systems than for someone who isn’t as sensitive Fruits like apples, pears, and peaches and vegetables like cauliflower, mushrooms, and sugar substitutes like lactitol, and sorbitol are examples of foods with high polyols
Can humans digest polyols?
When polyols reach the small intestine, they are either not digested or only partially digested Polyols attract water as they move through the bowel and can be fermented by intestinal bacteria, stimulating bowel movements and other gastrointestinal symptoms
Do polyols make you fat? With the exception of erythritol, polyols still contain some calories, so consuming large amounts of them can still lead to excess calories (as well as possible gut issues, as described above) That said, one small change in your diet will rarely make a big difference in your weight
Do polyols spike blood sugar? Polyols contain carbohydrates and calories, but they have fewer calories and less of an effect on blood glucose levels than sucrose (sugar)
Do polyols spike insulin? Research has shown that all polyols have lower glycaemic and insulinaemic values than both glucose and sucrose This means that they can be used to help people achieve lower blood glucose and insulin levels – important for everyone, but especially for those with diabetes or hyperinsulinism
