As a result, sweet-tasting sugar alcohols such as xylitol and erythritol have found their way into “tooth-friendly” products, as mouth bacteria cannot use them for energy.

Allulose browns, caramelizes, and dissolves like sugar. Erythritol does none of these things. Adding monk fruit to either of them does not change how they behave.

The harmful bacteria in your mouth use sugar for energy. In the process, they release acids that can erode tooth enamel. You can still read about these sweeteners and their sweetness level compared to sugar in my Sugar Substitutes post. Sweetener Conversion Calculator In contrast to stevia, monk fruit extract has less bitter aftertaste. This makes it a goodchoice for people sensitive to the aftertaste of stevia. In addition, due to their unique chemical structure, most sugar alcohols pass unchanged through most of your digestive system into the colon, where they’re fermented using resident bacteria. This can produce gas as a byproduct and means you could experience bloating and digestive upset. In fact, sugar alcohols like erythritol belong to a category of fibers known as FODMAPs.

Ready Set Go! Coconut Sugar – Coconut sugar is made from coconut palm sap, which is dehydrated to make granulated coconut sugar. It does retain a small amount of nutrients from the sap, and has a small amount of inulin, which can support gut health and slow down blood sugar spikes [ *]. However, it still has a high glycemic index of 54 and is as high in calories as conventional table sugar. It is a carbohydrate that is partially digested or not digested at all, also known as a low or non-digestible carbohydrate. Like stevia extract, monk fruit extract comes from a plant and is very concentrated — about 150to 400 times sweeter than sugar. This means you need only a very small amount of them to make a recipe sweet, but they can be difficult to use for this reason.Confectioners and brown sugar replacements – These are obviously specialized for certain uses, so there isn’t a point to convert regular sugar to them. They are not included in the sweetener conversion chart.

Sugar alcoholsare sugar substitutes that can occur naturally in fruits and vegetables, or be produced by fermenting plant sugars. Because the body either does not absorb or metabolize them, they contain fewer calories (some of them have none — making them “non-nutritive sweeteners”) and have a smaller effect on blood glucose levels than sugar does. Erythritol SweetenerAllulose is a relatively new natural, healthy sugar substitute with incredible benefits for cooking and baking. Even though it’s plant based, it’s neither a sugar alcohol nor an extract — it’s actually a rare type of sugar that we can’t absorb, which puts it in its own category. Despite being the same family as sugar, allulose has a glycemic index of 0 and 0 net carbs, too. Like erythritol, allulose is 70% as sweet as sugar.
