People with dietary restrictions and preferences have an unprecedented amount of options for what they eat and drink these days. Sugar-free, nut-free, and gluten-free foods are commonplace in pantries and on grocery store shelves today, but some people are hesitant to try different versions of their favorite treats. Fortunately, candy connoisseurs can rest assured that sugar free candy from Wockenfuss is just as tasty as the classics they fell in love with. Let’s explore the ins and outs of sugar free candy!
What is in Sugar Free Candy and Chocolate?
The phrase “sugar free” may seem counterintuitive to some, but it’s really not that unusual of a concept. Sugar free candy contains one of any number of artificial sweeteners to give the confection its sweetness without table sugar. Artificial sweeteners include all kinds of compounds, and sugar alcohols make up a significant portion of sweeteners used in sugar free products today. Sugar alcohols like maltitol, mannitol, xylitol, and sorbitol don’t contain sugar or alcohol — at least, not the table sugar and drinkable alcohol you’d think. When used in sugar free candy, these sugar alcohols offer sweetness without the spike in blood sugar that one would expect from a full-sugar treat.
Why do People Eat Sugar Free Candy and Chocolate?
Artificial sweeteners aren’t digested as easily or completely as table sugar. While this sounds strange, it simply means that one’s blood glucose levels experience a smaller change when eating sugar alcohols than they would compared to a similar amount of table sugar. This smaller change in blood glucose levels makes sugar free candy popular among people with diabetes and some other health concerns. However, diabetics aren’t the only ones who can enjoy sugar free candy. Virtually everyone can indulge in sugar free sweets. However, sugar free candy is not free of carbohydrates and calories, so make sure to enjoy them in moderation.
