Products like xylitol and sorbitol have a similar use to sugar but are metabolized differently by the body.

These are "rare sugars" found in tiny amounts in nature.

When you eat sucrose, your gut instantly splits it into these two cousins. That’s why honey, agave, and HFCS (high-fructose corn syrup) feel familiar—they’re just different ratios of the same building blocks.

Depending on the context, the term could refer to other types of sugars or sweet compounds, such as sucrose (table sugar), fructose, glucose, etc.

Substances like aspartame, sucralose, and stevia are chemically different from sugar but serve a similar purpose as sweeteners.
