Some names are maltitol, sorbitol, erithrytol, xylitol, and lactitol. They are not sugar, not alcohol. Since they are indigestible, some of them have a laxative effect on some people. Take carewith portion sizes until you know how they affect you. The xylitol may actually make teeth stronger. None of them hurt teeth - they don't break down into carbohydrate. Some toothpastes use them for sweet; many SF gums use them for sweet, and for tooth protection. Sugar alcohols are complex forms of sugar that are mostly indigestible.

The xylitol may actually make teeth stronger. None of them hurt teeth – they don’t break down into carbohydrate. Some toothpastes use them for sweet; many SF gums use them for sweet, and for tooth protection.

My only reservation is what exactly is the sweetener used? I have no idea what "sugar alcohols" are, and if they are considered to be harmful to one's health. Can anyone iluminate me?
