Do sugar alcohols contain alcohol?
Sugar alcohols do not contain ethanol (the stuff you drink). The simplest sugar alcohol, ethylene glycol, is the sweet but notoriously toxic chemical used in antifreeze. The higher sugar alcohols are for the most part nontoxic.

Does Ice cubes gum have pork in it?
Yes it Does. it has Sugar Alcohol.A sugar alcohol (also known as a polyol,[1] polyhydric alcohol, polyalcohol, or glycitol) is a hydrogenated form of carbohydrate, whose carbonyl group (aldehyde or ketone, reducing sugar) has been reduced to a primary or secondary hydroxyl group (hence the alcohol). Sugar alcohols have the general formula H(HCHO)n+1H, whereas sugars have H(HCHO)nHCO. In commercial foodstuffs sugar alcohols are commonly used in place of table sugar (sucrose), often in combination with high intensity artificial sweeteners to counter the low sweetness. Of these, xylitol is perhaps the most popular due to its similarity to sucrose in visual appearance and sweetness. Sugar alcohols do not contribute to tooth decay.[2][3]However, consumption of sugar alcohols does affect blood sugar levels. Sugar alcohols may also cause bloating and diarrhea when consumed in excessive amounts.[4]Some common sugar alcohols:Methanol (1-carbon)Glycol (2-carbon)Glycerol (3-carbon)Erythritol (4-carbon)Threitol (4-carbon)Arabitol (5-carbon)Xylitol (5-carbon)Ribitol (5-carbon)Mannitol (6-carbon)Sorbitol (6-carbon)Galactitol (6-carbon)Iditol (6-carbon)Inositol (6-carbon; a cyclic sugar alcohol)Volemitol (7-carbon)Isomalt (12-carbon)Maltitol (12-carbon)Lactitol (12-carbon)PolyglycitolBoth disaccharides and monosaccharides can form sugar alcohols; however, sugar alcohols derived from disaccharides (e.g. maltitol and lactitol) are not entirely hydrogenated because only one aldehyde group is available for reduction.The simplest sugar alcohols, ethylene glycol and methanol, are sweet but notoriously toxic chemicals used in antifreeze. The more complex sugar alcohols are for the most part nontoxic.

What is the scientific name for the smallest sugar?
it is a sugar alcohol - polyol or polyalcohol- called Ethylene glycol. It is an hydrogenated form of carbohydrate, whose carbonyl group (aldehyde or ketone, reducing sugar) has been reduced to a primary or secondary hydroxyl group (hence the alcohol). The simplest sugar alcohol, ethylene glycol, is the sweet, but notoriously toxic, chemical used in antifreeze. The higher sugar alcohols are for the most part nontoxic. Sugar alcohols are usually incompletely absorbed into the blood stream from the small intestines which generally results in a smaller change in blood glucose than "regular" sugar (sucrose). This property makes them popular sweeteners among diabetics and people on low-carbohydrate diets. However, like many other incompletely digestible substances, overconsumption of sugar alcohols can lead to bloating, diarrhea and flatulence because they are not absorbed in the small intestine. Some individuals experience such symptoms even in a single-serving quantity. With continued use, most people develop a degree of tolerance to sugar alcohols and no longer experience these symptoms. As an exception, erythritol is actually absorbed in the small intestine and excreted unchanged through urine, so it has no side effects at typical levels of consumption. See my attached link.
How do you know when chocolate is bad?
The high levels of sugar in most chocolate products will disguise most changes in flavor unless bacteria are present. The easiest clue is often the color : chocolate that is older, or that has been exposed to excessive heat, will often turn white and chalky, losing its smooth texture.
