It is used in U.S. foods under good manufacturing practice and must be labeled as a sugar alcohol; like other polyols, excess intake may cause a laxative effect in some people.
What is in polyglycitol syrup?
A mixture of sugar alcohols—primarily maltitol and sorbitol—plus maltotriitol and other hydrogenated oligo- and polysaccharides in water.
What is polyglycitol syrup made of?
It’s produced by catalytic hydrogenation of plant-derived starch hydrolysates (e.g., corn, wheat, or potato glucose syrups), converting the sugars into polyols.
What is the glycemic index of polyglycitol syrup?
There isn’t a single GI because it varies by formulation, but it generally has a lower glycemic impact than sugar; manufacturers typically report low-to-moderate GI values depending on maltitol content.
Is xylitol bad for you?
For most people, no—xylitol is considered safe and has a low impact on blood sugar; large amounts can cause gas, bloating, or diarrhea, and it’s extremely toxic to dogs.
Does xylitol cause cancer?
No—studies have not shown xylitol to be carcinogenic, and it’s approved for use by regulators such as the FDA and EFSA.
Is xylitol good for your teeth?
Yes—xylitol helps reduce cavity-causing bacteria and stimulates saliva, which can lower the risk of tooth decay when used regularly (e.g., in gum or mints).
Is xylitol safe?
Yes—xylitol is approved in the EU (E967) and is GRAS in the U.S.; excessive intake can have a laxative effect, and it’s highly dangerous for dogs.
Does extra gum have xylitol?
Many Extra sugar-free varieties contain xylitol (often alongside other polyols), but formulas vary by flavor and country—check the ingredient list on your pack.
