What is the approximate energy content of most sugar alcohols?

Most sugar alcohols typically contain about 2 to 3 calories per gram, which is lower than the energy content of regular sugars, which provide around 4 calories per gram. This reduced caloric content makes sugar alcohols popular as low-calorie sweeteners. However, the exact energy content can vary slightly depending on the specific type of sugar alcohol. Additionally, sugar alcohols are not fully absorbed by the body, which further contributes to their lower effective caloric value.
