[edit] Articles that ask questions
So, right now, the article says:
- > This product is commonly used in "Sugar Free" products and since it is a sugar alchohol are those products truly sugar free?
Is that meant to be a rhetorical question?
Or is this one of those 'In Soviet Russia, encyclopedia gets information from you!' things?

I took it out, along with the snarky answer someone provided. They had no place in an article such as this. Sethery 20:16, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] 2 calories?
The Merk Index, Eleventh edition p.1375: "In the healthy human organism 1g of sorbitol yelds 3.994 calories wich is comparable to 3.940 calories from 1g of cane sugar"
-regards
Can anyone answer?
[edit] Sorbitol... in toothpaste?
I read your very interesting article about Sorbitol, but what is it (Sorbitol) doing in most major brands of toothpaste, as the first ingredient, no less!? Mysteriousmadamex 10:03, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
- It's in toothpaste as a humectant and a sweetener. I'm not certain, but I think the bacteria that cause tooth decay can't use sorbitol an a food source, so sorbitol isn't bad for your teeth like other sugars. --Ed (Edgar181) 14:26, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
== Sorbitol... CRAMPS!!! Everytime I eat "Sugar-Free" Candy or Sours etc. I get major major major gas and diarhea. damn.
[edit] 2 calories??? (again)
From the link to NIH provided in references:
sorbitol (SORE-bih-tall): 1. A sugar alcohol (sweetener) with 4 calories per gram. 2. A substance produced by the body in people with diabetes that can cause damage to the eyes and nerves.
Anyone who is in charge - please fix it in the artilcle! it is confusing!
[edit] Sorbitol pains
Gah--I just ate a ton of Wintergreen mints, and my stomach was rather angry at me for that. I look up the main ingredient in the mints I ate, Sorbitol, and I see why I am having such problems.
Guess I need to learn some moderation. --129.93.212.104 05:24, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
