Tag: Erythritol calories

According to the Calorie Control Council, erythritol is officially labeled as having 0 calories per gram in the United States and Europe. But does erythritol actually have 0 calories, or is there a catch to this popular sweetener's reputation? The truth lies in how the human body metabolizes it.

Despite being labeled as a zero-calorie sweetener in the United States and other regions, the claim that erythritol has absolutely no calories is slightly misleading. Its unique metabolic pathway means that while it provides minimal energy, it is not completely devoid of caloric content.
