erythritol is a sugar alcohol.

The couple times I’ve tried it, it was no mas for me!

I have eaten things with this in it; and, it has a bad effect on me. Really bad cramps.

“I don’t see this is a biggie, as erythritol is GRAS and already exists in our bodies.”

Lots of thing exist in our bodies in small amounts, but can be highly dangerous if consumed in large amounts.

And this is considered GRAS and people haven’t even anecdotally been complaining about issues with it.

It’s a crud study.

Those taste quite good, to me, and are still available in Canada, I believe.

Type 1 diabetic here. Sucralose, Stevia, Aspartame. Some studies have found risks with some of them, too. Erythritol was my go to, including Monk Fruit and Erythritol powder, but will have to read more in this study.

Yeah it was like that for me. The second time was worse than the first. It was like those Haribo sugar free gummie reviews on Amazon.

“Artificial sweeteners are thought to be chemically inert, but scientists are finding these low-calorie compounds are not necessarily free from health consequences.”

But, I LIKE artificial sweetener on my lab-grown meat!

My Grandma was Diabetic and lived on cans of TAB (soft drink). She lived to nearly 90. And that stuff was the worst of the worst.

She looked very ‘well preserved’ in her casket, though!

Ba-Dump-Dump! *TISH*

They’re clutching at straws trying to protect the covid vaccine. There was something else they claimed was causing heart attacks the other day. Can’t remember what it was.

TAB! yeeeech!.............

I remember in the 60’s we had ‘diet’ drinks that actually tasted great!

They were sweetened with ‘cyclamates’...........

Truvia is Stevia based- NOT erithritol.

Ditto. Especially, when the article says the change could lead to obesity, it would result in a never-ending cycle.
