The main characteristic of this popular product is its low caloric value. Other sweeteners, according to the OCU, that are included in this group would be the following: sorbitol, mannitol, isomaltitol, maltitol, lactitol and xylitol.

people with diabetes, and in general for all people because it has no contraindications.
