Benefits

Polyols are low-digestible carbohydrates, which, in contrast with sugar, are hardly absorbed in the small intestine. A significant part of the consumed polyols enters the large intestine as such, where gut bacteria ferment it, contributing to intestinal health.

Polyols do not promote tooth decay, because they are hardly fermented by oral bacteria, preventing a pH drop in the mouth– or in other words, they are toothfriendly.
