I think it's not weight-by-weight equivalent. I believe that a tiny amount of Erythritol is enough to be equivalently sweet relative to a much larger amount of sugar.
That being said: I'm not sure if it's enough to make it cheaper than sugar.
- gtrubetskoy 9y agoGood point, and there is another twist I realized: sugar is used as filler (e.g. for removed fat in low-fat stuff), so Erythritol might not work because same volume of it would make it unbearably sweet. Personally, I'd prefer they just kept the original fat and call it a day as there seems to be absolutely nothing wrong with it health-wise.
- silviogutierrez 9y agoYou are both thinking of other sweeteners, like sucralose (Splenda). Erythritol is actually 70% as sweet as sugar. So you actually need to supplement it with something else to match sugar.
