'''Sorbitol''' (sometimes called glucitol) is a sugar alcohol which is found in nature, and also derived synthetically from [[glucose]]. It's chemical formula is C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>14</sub>O<sub>6</sub>. It is sometimes used in place of [[sucrose]], because it has a lesser impact on the blood sugar of those who consume it. The body must break sorbital down into glucose before it can be digested, but this is a relatively slow process. For this reason, sorbitol is often used in sugar-free candies, soft drinks, and chewing gum.<ref name="wisegeek.org">http://www.wisegeek.org/what-is-sorbitol.htm</ref>
