Maltitol is a sugar alcohol-type sweetener, with about 70–90% of the sweetness of sugar. It offers a sweet taste with fewer calories, about 2.1 kcal/g (approximately half of sugar) and a lower glycemic index.

• Lower impact on blood sugar.
• Similar taste to sugar.
• Does not cause tooth decay.
• Suitable for Diabetics.

Generally considered suitable, because it is partially absorbed and raises glucose more mildly. However, it should be consumed in moderation, as it still provides carbohydrates.

Dukan Diet: Allowed in reasonable amounts. Dukan accepts polyols/sweeteners as auxiliary ingredients in sugar-free sweets.

Keto Diet: In very small amounts, as maltitol has a higher glycemic index.
