Is Xylitol a sugar?
Yes and no. Xylitol is a sugar alcohol. Basically, sugar alcohols are sugars with a slight modification in their chemical structure, which can have major effects. For example, sorbitol is the sugar alcohol version of glucose. Glucose can be used by bacteria in your mouth and can cause teeth decay; sorbitol, however, cannot be used either by the bacteria in your mouth. Different sugar alcohols have varying degrees of digestibility in humans; for this reason they may have a laxative effect. Xylitol's (and maltitol) seem to have less of a laxative effect. Every sugar alcohol is different in terms of sweetness and their ability to be digested by the human body (i.e. their calories). However, a) they do not promote dental decay and b) they are still sweet (like sugar).
What will be the effect of sugar on turmeric solution?

Is ethyl alcohol a sugar?
No; it is a hydrocarbon. The formula is C(2)H(6). Carbohydrates contain oxygen.
What is the Tyndall effect of sugar solution?
Tyndall effect doesn't exist in a sugar solution.
Does sugar alcohol make you have to poop?
Sugar alcohols can have a laxative effect, so one should watch how much they consume. See Related Links.
Products in which Sugar alcohols are most often used?
sugar alcohols are popular in sugar-free gums and mints. They are less sweet than sucrose.
Do sugar alcohols contain alcohol?
Sugar alcohols do not contain ethanol (the stuff you drink). The simplest sugar alcohol, ethylene glycol, is the sweet but notoriously toxic chemical used in antifreeze. The higher sugar alcohols are for the most part nontoxic.
What alcohols contain sugar?
All alcohols contain sugar because alcohol itself is a refined type of sugar, that's why it has so many calories.
What has the author Solomon Gershon written?
Solomon Gershon has written: 'The catalytic dehydrogenation of sugar alcohols ..' -- subject(s): Alcohols, Catalysis, Dehydrogenation
Bariatric Surgery Can Help Obese Diabetics?
For patients with Type 2 diabetes, losing weight can often lessen the severity of symptoms or eradicate the disease altogether. Obese patients that have been unable to see results with traditional dieting programs or obese diabetics that have a difficult time controlling blood sugar levels even with insulin injections can see dramatic weight loss from bariatric surgery. Many patients report that they no longer require insulin or medication within months of weight loss surgery.

Does Ice cubes gum have pork in it?
Yes it Does. it has Sugar Alcohol.A sugar alcohol (also known as a polyol,[1] polyhydric alcohol, polyalcohol, or glycitol) is a hydrogenated form of carbohydrate, whose carbonyl group (aldehyde or ketone, reducing sugar) has been reduced to a primary or secondary hydroxyl group (hence the alcohol). Sugar alcohols have the general formula H(HCHO)n+1H, whereas sugars have H(HCHO)nHCO. In commercial foodstuffs sugar alcohols are commonly used in place of table sugar (sucrose), often in combination with high intensity artificial sweeteners to counter the low sweetness. Of these, xylitol is perhaps the most popular due to its similarity to sucrose in visual appearance and sweetness. Sugar alcohols do not contribute to tooth decay.[2][3]However, consumption of sugar alcohols does affect blood sugar levels. Sugar alcohols may also cause bloating and diarrhea when consumed in excessive amounts.[4]Some common sugar alcohols:Methanol (1-carbon)Glycol (2-carbon)Glycerol (3-carbon)Erythritol (4-carbon)Threitol (4-carbon)Arabitol (5-carbon)Xylitol (5-carbon)Ribitol (5-carbon)Mannitol (6-carbon)Sorbitol (6-carbon)Galactitol (6-carbon)Iditol (6-carbon)Inositol (6-carbon; a cyclic sugar alcohol)Volemitol (7-carbon)Isomalt (12-carbon)Maltitol (12-carbon)Lactitol (12-carbon)PolyglycitolBoth disaccharides and monosaccharides can form sugar alcohols; however, sugar alcohols derived from disaccharides (e.g. maltitol and lactitol) are not entirely hydrogenated because only one aldehyde group is available for reduction.The simplest sugar alcohols, ethylene glycol and methanol, are sweet but notoriously toxic chemicals used in antifreeze. The more complex sugar alcohols are for the most part nontoxic.
Can sugar patients eat date?
no
What happens to the reacting substances in fermenting sugar on a chemical reaction?
The products of fermentation are alcohols and carbon dioxide.
What is fermentation used for?
fermentation is used to convert sugar into alcohols...deriving energy from oxidation of organic compounds
