Sweeteners that contribute calories to the diet are called caloric or nutritive sweeteners. All common caloric sweeteners have the same composition: they contain fructose and glucose in essentially equal proportions. All caloric sweeteners require processing to produce a food-grade product.  2, record 1, English, - nutritive%20sweetener

Artificial sweeteners have been classified as nutritive and non-nutritive depending on whether they are a source of calories. The nutritive sweeteners include the mono-saccharide polyols(for example, sorbitol, mannitol, and xylitol) and the disaccharide polyols(for example, maltitol and lactitol). They are approximately equivalent to sucrose in sweetness(Dills, 1989).  4, record 1, English, - nutritive%20sweetener

Les édulcorants nutritifs comprennent les sucres, les sirops de sucre et les polyalcools. On les considère comme des « édulcorants nutritifs » ou des édulcorants caloriques parce qu’ils fournissent de l’énergie.  1, record 1, French, - %C3%A9dulcorant%20nutritif

Endulzantes nutritivos o calóricos. Su valor calórico por unidad de peso es igual a la sacarosa. En este grupo se incluyen la fructosa o levulosa, el jarabe de maíz, la dextrosa y los polialcoholes (sorbitol, manitol, xilitol, lactitol, maltitol). Deben considerarse como parte de la comida por su valor calórico. Se encuentran en forma de edulcorantes de mesa (fructosa); en alimentos, bebidas y fármacos (fructosa, dextrosa, jarabe de maíz) y en chicles y caramelos (polialcoholes).  1, record 1, Spanish, - edulcorante%20nutritivo

Artificial sweeteners are sugar-substitutes. There are 2 kinds [...], nutritive and non-nutritive. Nutritive sweeteners provide some calories, non-nutritive sweeteners typically provide zero calories.

Les chimistes ont synthétisé plusieurs substances d'un goût très sucré et dépourvues de toute valeur nutritive. Ces substances ont une importance pratique notable, d'une part parce qu'elles sont moins chères que le sucre et, d'autre part, parce qu'elles peuvent remplacer le sucre dans les cas où c'est désirable pour des raisons médicinales. Les édulcorants de synthèse sont indiqués dans le traitement diététique du diabète et de l'obésité. Ils sont utilisés pour la préparation de certains médicaments, de dentifrices et d'aliments diététiques [...] La saccharine est le premier en date des [succédanés du sucre].  1, record 2, French, - %C3%A9dulcorant%20de%20synth%C3%A8se

Any of the acyclic linear polyhydric alcohols; may be considered sugars in which the aldehydic group of the first carbon atom is reduced to a primary alcohol; classified according to the number of hydroxyl groups in the molecule; sorbitol (D-glucitol, sorbite) is one of the most widespread of all the naturally occurring sugar alcohols.  2, record 3, English, - sugar%20alcohol

There are two major categories of sugar substitutes. One is sugar alcohols. The other is artificial sweeteners. Sugar alcohols... supply as much, if not more, caloric energy than regular sugar. Artificial sweeteners provide virtually no caloric energy.... There are four sugar alcohols currently available in the US : mannitol, sorbitol, xylitol, and maltitol.  4, record 3, English, - sugar%20alcohol

Xylitol has the same relative sweetness as sugar. This benefit, as well as it's reported reputation of preventing dental caries, is far outweighed by studies which link it to tumor formation in animals. For this reason, the US has voluntarily curtailed its use in food products. Xylitol was a popular ingredient in chewing gums.  4, record 4, English, - xylitol
