sugar alcohol
Hi there! Does anyone know if sugar alcohols like sorbitol will cause
birth defects? I am 7 weeks pregnant and have been using a sugar free maple syrup 2-3 times per week, and just noticed it has sorbitol. Alot of it, too. I hope this can't cause fetal alcohol syndrome! Anyone know anything about this? Thanks. |

AFAIK, sorbitol is safe. In any effect, my dietician told me I could
use as a sugar substitute in by gestational diabetes diet. Valerie Karen P wrote: Hi there! Does anyone know if sugar alcohols like sorbitol will cause birth defects?

sugar alcohol
Could have been sucrolose. Actually, she said to generally not use many
sugar substitutes but whatever Spenda is would be OK. We may have gotten our -ols and -oses confused. Could someone knowledgable explain what sugar alcohols are and what they do that's different from other forms of sugar? Thanks Valerie.

Valerie are you sure they told you to use sorbitol...and not sucrolose? Sucrolose is Splenda... sorbitol is a sugar alcohol (and too much sugar alcohol in ANYONE can cause a lot of intestinal upsets). anything ending in OL is a sugar alcohol...like sorbitol, maltitol.... are you sure your dietician said to use sorbitol as a sugar substitute?
