Zero-calorie sweetener (erythritol) linked to clotting, heart attacks and strokes

[J.R.K]

Yep. Anger is problem another adverse side-effect of fake sugar.

Somehow mentioning that adverse side effect will sooth the savage beast, @Regina
But hey I don’t mind poking the bear a little just to see.

Avoiding things that increase our endotoxic load is becoming more difficult than avoiding PUFA. Always some new offender on the horizon. Thankfully I've never used these sugar substitutes in any large degree, with the exception of stevia when I was low-carb 8-9 years ago.

Totally agree with this statement.

One of the authors of the study (who appears to be the study lead, or one of the leads) has present and past monetery connections to Proctor & Gamble. P&G has a patent for monk fruit sweetener, called the "first healthy artifical sweetener" in the article title (below). I wondering if this study is an attempt to poison the well, so to speak, against erythritol in order to give monk fruit sweetener more market share..

The FDA first granted monk fruit approval back in 2010; however, Procter & Gamble Co. first patented the fruit for a possible sugar and artificial sweetener alternative back in 1995. Today, the New Zealand company, BioVittoria, is leading the production of monk fruit-derived ingredients through a license obtained from Procter & Gamble. BioVittoria received the FDA’s Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) approval for its monk fruit concentrate product “Fruit-Sweetness” in 2010.

Monk Fruit: First Healthy Artificial Sweetener That Also Tastes Great?

Monk fruit, usually cultivated in China, could be the next viable artificial sweetener candidate without any unhealthy benefits.

Xilitol is dangerous?

 

[Dave Clark]

I was being sarcastic. The timing of this study seems suspect to me. I wish they would investigate the many heart attacks after covid injections.

Xilitol is dangerous?

Dangerous? How so? I often wonder about the propaganda of xylitol being harmful to dogs, I inadvertently gave foods to my dog with xylitol for years, before hearing about the warning they give about not giving it to animals. Anyway, not only did my dog never have a vet visit for bad health, he lived to be 16 yrs old {his breed is supposed to be good for about 10 years}. Also, I recently heard that the avocado thing has been debunked, regarding dogs eating it. This lack-of-science fear mongering happens all the time with nutrients and substances. I am sure the sugar corporations were behind this negative propaganda with xylitol.
