Is sugar alcohol keto?

Some sugar alcohols are keto-friendly. Here is the chart for different sugar alcohols showing their effects on blood sugars.

Xylitol is a favorite for some people on keto because they say it doesn’t have an aftertaste. Xylitol and everything below it is going to be fine while on keto.

• Maltodextrin - 110

• Glucose - 100

• Sucrose - 65

• High-fructose corn syrup - 58

• Honey - 50

• Maltitol - 35

• Xylitol - 12

• Sorbitol - 9

• Mannitol - 2

• Erythritol - 1

Although high-fructose corn syrup has a lower glycemic number compared to maltodextrin, it can be even worse because it messes with your liver and causes insulin resistance. Avoid it at all costs!
