A popular artificial sweetener, erythritol, could raise the risk ofResearchers evaluated more than 4,000 people in the U.S. and Europe. Those who consumed high amounts of erythritol had a greater risk of developing major adverse cardiovascular events, whichThe study, published in Nature Medicine, found that erythritol may contribute to the formation of blood clots, a major trigger for cardiac events.
It is an ingredient in both Truvia and Splenda Naturals Stevia Sweetener, two popular zero-calorie sugar substitutes. The sweetener is also found naturally in some foods, including grapes, watermelon, pears, mushrooms and fermented cheese. "Our study shows that when participants consumed an artificially sweetened beverage with an amount of erythritol found in many processed foods, markedly elevated levels in the blood are observed for days — levels well above those observed to enhance clotting risks," said Stanley Hazen, M.D., PhD, in a press release on Cleveland Clinic's website.The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved erythritol for safe consumption in 2001. The World Health Organization approved it in 1999.
This is why I hate science. Its always it could or maybe do or cause something. The best is if you dont stop doing a certain thing. In 200 years we will all be dead. No shit!
Strange how the media will cite a sugar substitute as possibly causing heart attacks or strokes but not the COVID vaccine or boosters ..
