Maltitol

Maltitol is a reduced-calorie bulk sweetener, a sugar alcohol. Health Canada lists it as a permitted food additive with about 3 kcal per gram. Eating a lot of sugar alcohols can cause stomach discomfort and a laxative effect, and the chance rises with the total amount eaten across products.
