Wondering about this sweetener. I have found it listed in some different items. I found this online, any thoughts??

"Erythritol is an excellent sugar alcohol that has no laxative side effects and no glycemic effect at all on the blood sugar. However, all sugar alcohols have a kind of cooling effect on the taste buds and erythritol has that effect more than xylitol or malitol. It is also the weakest in sweetening power. Used half and half with xylitol gives some of its benefits without the disadvantages in taste. In certain instances, xylitol must be used in the recipe because it will caramelize the way that sugar does whereas other sweeteners do not."
