Guest guest Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Ellen- >Please tell me what is wrong with malitol. Its entire selling point is that it's relatively indigestible. Humans produce little (or sometimes none) of the specific enzymes necessary to digest it. What this means is that maltitol (and other so-called sugar alcohols) are terrific fertilizers for undesirable organisms in the gut. This is why maltitol (and lactitol and so on) give so many people diarrhea. I recommend avoiding it like the plague. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
