Sorbitol is a sugar -- produced from fruits -- that the body uses slowly. It is a sweetener used in diet foods and is called a nutritive sweetener because it has four calories in every gram, just like table sugar and starch. These compounds are used in many foods labeled as sugar free and no sugar added and can raise your blood glucose.
About. The Life Sciences Major is a cross-disciplinary program that features core courses in the fundamental biological sciences (animal, plant, microbiology, cell, and molecular) and specializations that range from concentrations in pure biology to multidisciplinary and applied life sciences.

Lots of students -- especially those in the life sciences -- donât end up using most of what theyâve learned later on in their studies or their careers, but the requirement has endured.
