Cantelope has a very low sugar alcohol content. Other fruits low in sugar alcohol include bananas, blueberries, strawberries, honeydew, pineapple, kiwi fruit, and citrus fruits. If you think you might be sensitive to sugar alcohols, talk to your doctor or dietitian. They can help you figure out if you need to avoid them or if you can eat them in moderation.
