The Effect Of Erythritol On Fructose Absorption In Healthy Nondiabetic Adults

Fructose is absorbed from the intestine by facilitated diffusion, but large doses of free fructose (≥) are often malabsorbed. Erythritol is a sugar alcohol that is well‐absorbed from the intestine, presumably via the paracellular route. The objective of the study was to determine if the simultaneous intake of erythritol enhances fructose absorption in healthy subjects.
