A sugar alcohol used as a low-calorie sweetener and humectant — it keeps food moist and prevents it from drying out. Found mainly in sugar-free chewing gum, mints, and diabetic-friendly products. It's naturally present in some fruits like plums and apples, but commercially produced from glucose. Generally recognised as safe. However, consuming large amounts — typically over 20–50g per day — can cause bloating, gas, and a laxative effect. Sensitive individuals may notice digestive discomfort even at smaller doses.
