the article has very interesting examples of how individual gut biomes produce radicaly different products in different people, with some able to completly digest sorbitol, and in others is passed to the liver where it is converted to a fructose, like, compound
other complicatiins are mentioned
but most certainly, adding sorbitol to anything, is at best, a zero sum equation, and for many it will cause some harm.
personaly, I dont argue with what nature has contrived over the countless millenia, and enjoy cooking useing whole food ingredients that are instantly recognisable as to what they are, by sight and smell.
And while it IS, time consuming, I know for a fact that paying for the quality and quantity of food I make and eat, in a resturaunt, is well past my and most peoples means.
The unspoken premise, here, in many discussions of health and food, chemicals, additives, pesticides,etc, is that human sensory input has no value as it is subjective, which is something I disagree with, on every level.
