Hrm. Possibly bad news for people who prefer diet fizzy drinks for whatever reason.

Consuming a drink with erythritol—a sweetener often used in stevia, monk fruit, and keto products—more than doubled the risk of blood clotting in 10 healthy people, according to a new pilot study. Clots can break off from blood vessels and travel to the heart, triggering a heart attack, or to the brain, causing a stroke. Previous research has also linked erythritol to a higher risk of stroke, heart attack, and death. #HealthRisks #Erythritol #ArtificialSweeteners #HeartHealth #KetoDiet

[Feb 28/23] Which Products Contain #Erythritol Amid New Study?
"...current federal guidelines do not require erythritol to be included on a product’s ingredient list. “The label might simply say “artificially sweetened with natural products,” or “zero sugar,” he said." https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2023/02/28/which-products-contain-erythritol-amid-new-study/

Zero-calorie sweetener #erythritol may elevate cardiovascular risk, study suggests
"Erythritol is used to sweeten beverages, chewing gum, chocolate, candies, bakery products, protein bars and other snack foods. It’s also mixed with table-top sweeteners such as stevia and monk fruit to add bulk and a sugar-like texture." https://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/health-and-fitness/article-sweetener-erythritol-cardiovascular-risk/

Saw another report on this on PBS last night. I don’t use artificial sweetener and I drink my coffee black but if you eat foods w #erythritol you might reconsider.

The artificial #sweetener #erythritol increases risk for major adverse cardiovascular events, and is linked to heightened platelet reactivity and #thrombosis potential in humans. #CVD #stroke #myocardialinfarction #death #nutrition https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-023-02223-9

One of the most popular artificial sweeteners in #diabetic and #keto friendly products is #erythritol. I've never liked it, and now it appears to significantly raise the risk of heart attack, clotting, and stroke. https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/27/health/zero-calorie-sweetener-heart-attack-stroke-wellness/index.html

I'm often skeptical of how media outlets publish articles about health studies, but this one on the dangers of an artificial sweetener looks pretty real to me

The main results are from humans, but I did search and found the word "mice" 3 times in the study 😂 in their follow-up research

If you use sweeteners you should read this.

"A sugar replacement called erythritol – used to add bulk or sweeten stevia, monkfruit and keto reduced-sugar products – has been linked to blood clotting, stroke, heart attack and death..."

@histoftech

Wow, indeed! Erythritol has been thought to be a safe noncaloric sweetener, unlike various others (most of which decimate the gut microbiome). Glad you posted this.

I stopped using refined sugar, and had used erythritol a little, but had drifted away after deciding that I would prefer savory to sweet. When I want sweet I eat a piece of fresh fruit or one dried date.

Thanks for posting that.

new research article:
The artificial sweetener erythritol and cardiovascular event risk
https://doi.org/10.1038/s41591-023-02223-9

Cleveland Clinic researchers report erythritol increases "platelet reactivity and thrombosis risk by enhancing platelet intracellular calcium release and aggregation in response to multiple agonists."

"plasma levels of erythritol remain elevated for many days, well above the thresholds necessary to enhance stimulus-dependent platelet reactivity"

New study shows Erythritol encourages blood clots to form, its consumption increases risk of heart attack, stroke.

Maybe sugar is the best sugar.

A sugar replacement called erythritol - used to add bulk or sweeten stevia, monk-fruit, and keto reduced-sugar products - has been linked to blood clotting, stroke, heart attack and death, according to a new study.
"The degree of risk was not modest," said lead author Dr. Stanley Hazen, director of the center for cardiovascular diagnostics and prevention at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner Research Institute. #sugar #monkfriut #diabetes #stevia #stroke #heartattack #death #keto #erythritol

I've noticed a lot of sugar-free sweets that have huge 'naturally sweetened with #stevia' labels on the front, but on closer examination, are mainly sweetened with less natural-sounding sweeteners like #erythritol. It reminds me a bit of the product Coke made that contained stevia *and* sugar:
