[edit] Polyol
Should this item be relocated to "polyol"? It's technically a more accurate and definitive chemical group.
Also, I've got some info about the FDA-approved relative caloric content and percent sweetness (compared to sucrose). Should this be expanded on in this entry or should I dump it in expanding the individual sugar alcohols?
- My inclination is to have polyol and sugar alcohol as separate articles, because while all sugar alcohols are polyols, not all polyols are sugar alcohols (e.g., pentaerythritol). Generally, I have only heard "sugar alcohol" used for the subset of polyols that can be prepared via the hydrogenation of carbohydrates. Branched-chain polyols do not fit this mold.

[edit] Just a Slight Funny
"Despite the variance in caloric content of sugar alcohols, EU labeling requirements assign a blanket value of 2.4 kcal/g to all sugar alcohols."
And people make fun of Alabama for allegedly ruling that the value of pi is 3. McGehee 14:58, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
I want to learn whether this "sugar alcohols" are accepted as the alcohol -which Islam refuses to be used- or not ?
