The problem is that most other advertised natural sweeteners are often cut with erythritol, without immediately mentioning this fact on the label. How much is erythritol is not mentioned, but it is usually the first ingregient listed.
The human body isn’t designed for ingesting non-food chemicals.
Info started coming out a couple years ago about possible blood clots from erythritol and I chose to stop using it.

I’ll say it again - sugar is bad, artificial sweeteners are even worse.
Just eat healthy, fresh foods, folks.
I’m going to have to read up on this. I had a “mini-stroke” about four years ago. VERY minor. But I also had open heart surgery two years ago.
And my wife and I are on a delivery schedule at amazon every six months for five 40oz containters of Monk Fruit, which is what we sweeten everything with.
The first ingredient is erythritol.
We just got our latest shipment a week ago.
I need to read up and find out how serious this really is.
Plastics effect on testosterone is in my opinion largest societal ramification of chemicals
Remarkable actually
We should go back to glass for food
No I have not
But I take 300mg of T b/month
I use straight stevia. Grow it, freeze dry it, powder it, and it is very sweet.
I just read a few articles and am no longer concerned. But that is because I don’t eat processed food and only use it in my coffee. And I don’t need it all that sweet.
It’s one of those “things are safe in moderation” things, as far as I can tell.
And the main evidence is correlation with cardiovascular problems. And as we all know, correlation does not equal causation. If you use this stuff to sweeten your nightshade, it’s not the eurythritol that killed you.
Truvia, Swerve, and Lakanto and some types of Splenda for baking.
bkmk
Is there a list of foods that contain erythritol?
