Maddox Mifsud was born 2009 June 11 at Joseph Brant hospital to Jen Mifsud. He was originally going to be named Albert, but they chose Maddox because it means mischief, disgust and baseball. He went home to find two sisters, Hannah and Maya Mifsud. You can see and image at: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NX3iBBgY2X0/SjWynp21cpI/AAAAAAAABY0/EkePthvO44w/s400/Maddox+Bradley+Mifsud+-+June+14+2009+033.jpg He is now 7 years old and he grew up to be a pretty weird kid. He is scared of bananas, he eats ketchup with cucumbers and is addicted to electronics. ðŒŁĻǎIs anybody having problems with the image? User:Merinda reported it to be a dead/broken link, but for me it works -- JeLuF
So, right now, the article says:
Is that meant to be a rhetorical question?
Or is this one of those 'In Soviet Russia, encyclopedia gets information from you!' things?
I took it out, along with the snarky answer someone provided. They had no place in an article such as this. Sethery 20:16, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
The Merk Index, Eleventh edition p.1375: "In the healthy human organism 1g of sorbitol yelds 3.994 calories wich is comparable to 3.940 calories from 1g of cane sugar"

Can anyone answer?
I read your very interesting article about Sorbitol, but what is it (Sorbitol) doing in most major brands of toothpaste, as the first ingredient, no less!? Mysteriousmadamex 10:03, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
Everytime I eat "Sugar-Free" Candy or Sours etc. I get major major major gas and diarhea. damn. same here buddy, don't recommend sugar free extra. it was shitz-ville for a week — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.136.244.242 ( talk) 17:41, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
From the link to NIH provided in references:
sorbitol (SORE-bih-tall): 1. A sugar alcohol (sweetener) with 4 calories per gram. 2. A substance produced by the body in people with diabetes that can cause damage to the eyes and nerves.
Anyone who is in charge - please fix it in the artilcle! it is confusing!
I think the article is clear enough--it's the same substance. It causes damage when it's inside the cells, but as a food, it's generally OK. I tried clarifying it. Jcarnelian 10:39, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
So as of this time, the article's text states a caloric content of 2.6 calories per gram and gives a link to NIH diabetes-related content which states that the caloric content is 4 calories per gram. Someone above refers to Merk Index, Eleventh edition p.1375 for a figure of approximately 4 calories per gram. Other references on-line corroborate 2.6 calories per gram (sugar.com, fda, etc.). Anyone know what this discrepancy is due to?

I changed "severe gastrointestinal problems" to "gastrointestinal problems"; in a medical context, "severe" usually implies something like "potentially life threatening" or "potentially debilitating". Jcarnelian 10:39, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
For the record, I'm currently recovering from a VERY bad IBD flare due to accidental consumption of a tiny amount of sorbitol. Sorbitol (and its derivatives) is the only substance to provoke my IBD - and if you don't call constant, intense abdominal pain, continuous bleeding, and the accompanying systemic effects 'debilitating', your definition of that word doesn't match mine! Glaciare ( talk) 11:55, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
On a far less personal note, I just came across a study regarding the dangers of sorbitol, when added to enemas in certain treatment protocols, being potentially-fatal effects on uremic 'or ill' patients. Summary and citation added. Glaciare ( talk) 15:07, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
I had the shits for a week after quitting smoking. could not figure it out. Extra sugar free was giving me the shits! It contains sorbitol! stay away! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.136.244.242 ( talk) 17:18, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
It would be good to cover Sorbitol as an additive to cigarettes, and what happens to it when it burns. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.5.171.61 ( talk) 20:50, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
Why isn't the current news story that Sorbitol leads to weight loss mentioned?
When it is, I'd like to see a discussion of the positive aspects as well: can Sorbitol be used as a prescription-free weight-loss substance? Yeah, if you dont mind shitting 24/7 then yes it wokrs great! 85.227.226.235 ( talk) 15:34, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Are there any studies that link the consumption of sugar alcohol (say, from chewing gum) to the attraction of mosquitoes? That might be an interesting topic to explore.

This section (below) appears in the Hyaluronan article and mentions Sorbitol - so there appear to be two sections to add the Sorbitol page - that it is 'free radical scavanging' and that it's used to prolong the half-life of native Hyaluronan. I don't know anything much about Sorbitol but it looks like something to mention. EdwardLane ( talk) 17:02, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Sorbitol does not contain a C=O group as, the linked structure in the JMOL-Section shows. I have no idea how to chenge that, i cannot find any "JMOL" section in the wiki source code. -- 141.201.116.184 ( talk) 05:34, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
I'd expect some information on what foods people who can't eat sorbitol should avoid. Ananiujitha ( talk) 22:00, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
Where does the idea come from that succinate dehydrogenase acts on sorbitol, as stated in the first paragraph? The reference 1 does not support this idea, and it seems unlikely. Has someone simply confused the abbreviation SDH for sorbitol dehydrogenase with succinate dehydrogenase? Roland.nilsson ( talk) 16:18, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

let's put everything in the same format, for example all molecules (all data, pictures, naming, left table, contents) like in mannitol article /info/en/?search=Mannitol or everything like in sorbitol article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.7.193.46 ( talk) 11:13, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

The solubility in water is given as 2350 g/L. I'm pretty sure this means 2350 g will dissolve in 1 L of water, which would be about 70 w%. Such a solution has a density of ~1.28 g/L so the volume will be much more than a liter. This is not what is meant by a mass concentration of 2350 g/L (but maybe this is the way solubility is expressed. If so that should be clarified before someone tries to make a 2350 g/L solution).
