Evidence Summary

Maltitol is a sugar alcohol (polyol) used as a lower-calorie substitute for sugar in foods like candies, baked goods, and chewing gum. It produces a smaller blood sugar spike than regular sugar, making it a common ingredient in products marketed to people with diabetes or those watching their carbohydrate intake. Some research suggests that chewing gum containing maltitol may help reduce gum inflammation and plaque buildup compared to not chewing gum at all, though it appears less effective than xylitol for dental benefits.
