Erythritol is a sugar alcohol which is indigestible by humans. Since we don’t have the necessary enzyme, it is passed through the body without the negative effects of sugar. Most of it is actually released unaltered through our urine! It has a glycemic index of 0 (meaning it does not spike blood sugar) and it’s [...]
Total Carbs vs. Net Carbs
When manufacturers and product nutrition databases list carbohydrates, they calculate total carbohydrates.

We try to be as [...]
