Prepared synthetically as a sweetener, sorbitol is a sugar alcohol which is improperly absorbed by the body therefore making it more difficult to increase insulin levels such as normal sugar. The side effect is that it also acts as a laxative by drawing water into the large intestine which stimulates bowel movement. Because it can not exit from cells quick enough, it builds up water and causes cells to swell.
Production of sorbitol is a food manufactures dream come true because it mixes well with other food ingredients like sugars, gelling agents, proteins and fats. Chemically, it really is very stable, underactive and a great texturing agent. The Food and drug administration doesn't object to the value of this ployols in the reduction of calorie intake. It is recognized by the American Dental Association for its capacity to lessen the presence of cavities and deteriorate enamel on the teeth. Nevertheless, the American Diabetes Association has mixed feelings on sorbitol. On the one hand it supplies less sugar and it has the slower glucose and insulin impact. On the other hand, the ADA is concerned with the relationship of the conversion of glucose to sorbitol. In diabetics, this process is greatly accelerated and could be of concern over time because of excessive sorbitol accumulation.
So like with all things sugar free items should be eaten in moderation
