The word “nutritive” indicates a caloric content that is recognized and absorbed by the body. Thus, nutritive sweeteners contain calories that the human body recognizes and absorbes, and non-nutritive sweeteners do not. Examples of nutritive sweeteners include natural sugars (found in high concentrations in sugar, honey, and syrups) and sugar alcohols.
