Sugar Alcohols

Sugar alcohols, a class of polyols, are commonly added to foods because of their lower caloric content than sugars. However, they are also, in general, less sweet, and are often combined with sugar substitutes. Excessive consumption can result in the need for excessive quality time in the bathroom, so pay careful attention to that Halloween candy you'll get in a few days.

This week, a look at sugar alcohols.

TTFN, Fred.

Quote of the week: "We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered." - Sir Tom Stoppard, (British Academy Award winning screenwriter and Tony Award winning playwright, 1937 - )
