CBS News Miami @CBSMiami · Follow 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, according to a study.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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, according to a study.

My ironclad, non-negotiable policy on sodas from this day onward:

Erythritol is a naturally occurring organic sweet chemical compound; it is markedly less sweet than sugar, and scientists have claimed it offers no ill health effects relative to normal sucrose. It is synthesized at industrial scale for use in food additives.

According to one food scientist, Dr. Stanley Hazen, it has become "the sweetheart of the food industry, an extremely popular additive to keto and other low-carb products and foods marketed to people with diabetes." It's in a lot of stuff, in other words.

The study found that participants already at high risk of heart disease were "twice as likely to experience a heart attack or stroke if they had the highest levels of erythritol in their blood." The substance "appeared to be causing blood platelets to clot more readily."

As Hazen put it on the newest revelations:

We never expected this. We weren't even looking for it.

What a surprise! Maybe cramming huge amounts of synthetic sweetener into countless consumer products wasn't the best idea? Maybe?

Other than giving one an instant, massive gas attack, they mean?

A sugar replacement called erythritol...

Ok, right there...

My doctor told me two decades ago not to touch artificial sweeteners, especially aspartame b/c it causes formaldehyde in the brain.

Haven't touched any of it since.

If bees won’t eat it, it’s not sugar and it’s not good for you.

First time I tasted artificial sugar cola, my common sense told me this stuff can’t be good for me if it leaves such bad after taste in mouth.

Sugar is not your enemy, salt is. You can burn sugar with activity, salt stays in body and raises blood pressure, which destroys kidneys and heart over the long term.

99% of ready made foods and fast foods are loaded with sodium.

Unnecessary BULL$HIT designed to CONFUSE and FRIGHTEN the public by certain marketing entities and factions busy trying to SHAPE direction for THEIR PRODUCTS, while DISCOURAGING use of other COMPETING products.

Let us be guided by... "MODERATION in ALL THINGS!"

This is why it’s a good idea to pray over food.

“...and if they shall drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them: they shall lay their hands upon the sick, and they shall recover.” Mark 16:18

Another fake food substitute causing health problems.

And they want us to eat fake meat?

What could go wrong?

Just use sugar.

Stevia is ok too if you are just using the leaves.

If you can not process it in your kitchen, it is not food.

And yes, I have processed sugar beets in my kitchen. A bit messy but not that hard.

I support you going totally salt free.

In about three months I will pull out the Ouija board and you can tell me how it went.

“My ironclad, non-negotiable policy on sodas from this day onward: (No)”

Author’s first problem is using the retarded term “soda” instead of ‘pop’ or ‘soft drink’.
