Erythritol, a sweetener often added to diet products such as Truvia, may contribute to clogged arteries and strokes, a new study suggests.
“The results of this study are contrary to decades of scientific research showing reduced-calorie sweeteners like erythritol are safe,” said Robert Rankin, executive director of the Calorie Control Council, an association representing the low- and reduced-calorie food and beverage industry. The people in the study were at increased risk for cardiovascular problems, Rankin said in a statement, so the results"should not be extrapolated to the general population.
"It predicts your risk for developing disease," Field said. "Theoretically, you can intervene and make changes." Initial safety studies on erythritol looked only at short-term exposure and found the body cleared it quickly. Field studied what happens in mice if they consume it chronically, and she found mice that were fed high levels of erythritol for eight straight weeks So, should you stop consuming erythritol?
