help the weight-conscious slash calories, but excessive use of
the sweetener sorbitol can cause extreme weight
loss and other problems, according to a new report.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=86347"><P>Reports of side effects such as abdominal pain and diarrhea with high
amounts of sorbitol consumption are nothing new, says Roger Clemens, DrPH, a
spokesman for the Institute of Food Technologists and professor of pharmacology
and pharmaceutical sciences at the University of Southern California, Los
Angeles.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=86347"><P>"Sorbitol is not well absorbed," Clemens says. As a result, excess
water enters the gastrointestinal tract and diarrhea can occur. Those who rely
on artificially sweetened products to help manage their <A href="http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=343" linkindex="25" set="yes">diabetes</A> or to reduce
overall calories, he says, should use a variety of such products and consume
them in moderation. Sorbitol is found in toothpastes as well as chewing gum and
sweets.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/B141E72E-AEB2-4DF4-AE61-9DF38BE95D87/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
