Cornstarch-based natural sweetener, whose sweetening effect is almost the same as sugar's (its sweetness is 60-90% of sugar), chemically belongs to sugar alcohols. It is tooth-friendly, has 40% fewer calories than sugar (about 2.4 kcal/g). It has no known side effects. It is slowly absorbed, therefore it slightly raises blood sugar levels, meaning it has a favorable glycemic index (GI 20-30). The human body does not require insulin for utilizing pure maltitol. Its daily energy and carbohydrate intake should also be taken into account. Consuming it in large quantities can cause diarrhea, abdominal pain, and bloating. Since it absorbs water from the air, it inhibits food from drying out.
