Here is some information on erythritol:

As always, check with your doctor when in question but our general
opinion is that is suitable as it does not significantly affect blood
glucose levels. Erythritol has a Zero Glycemic Index, and the glycemic
index of the sugars we also use in Lite Smoothies is comparable to the
effect of most vegetables. Erythritol is derived from sucrose(sugar).
This is done via a fermentation process where the microorganism acts on
a fermentation medium derived from sucrose, a non-genetically modified
substrate.


Does erythritol have good digestive tolerance?

Yes. Besides being all natural, one major difference from other sugar
alcohols such as mannitol, sorbitol, etc, is that it has a high
digestive tolerance. Erythritol is very quickly absorbed and eliminated
so that less than 5% of ingested erythritol reaches the large
intestine.
Studies show that up to 1.0 gram/kilogram body weight per day can be
safely consumed. For instance, a 150 pound person can consume 70 grams
per day without any digestive problems.
