Like sugar, maltitol syrup is a carbohydrate that contains calories. The body does not absorb all the calories in maltitol, but it still provides about 2 to 3 calories per gram, compared to four calories per gram of sugar. Since maltitol syrup is a carbohydrate and has calories, it also affects blood glucose. Maltitol syrup has a glycemic index of 52, which approaches that of table sugar at 60. The glycemic index is a measure of the effects of food on raising your blood glucose level. The powdered form has a glycemic index of 35, which is still higher than most other sugar alcohols and higher than all artificial sweeteners.

Maltitol syrup is a sugar alcohol that is often used as a sugar substitute in low-calorie and sugar-free products. It is an artificial sweetener that is less calorically dense than sugar and does not raise blood sugar levels as quickly as regular sugar. However, maltitol syrup is still a carbohydrate, and consuming too much of it can still raise blood sugar levels. It's important to check the label and consult with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns about consuming maltitol syrup.
Maltitol syrup is often used as a sugar substitute in low-calorie and sugar-free products, and it is a common ingredient in many keto-friendly products such as keto-friendly chocolate, candy, and other sweets.
