A sugar replacement called erythritol — used to add bulk or sweeten stevia, monk-fruit, and keto reduced-sugar products — has been linked to blood clotting, stroke, heart attack and death, according to a new study
. “The degree of risk was not modest,” said lead author Dr. Stanley Hazen, director of the center for cardiovascular diagnostics and prevention at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner Research Institute. People with existing risk factors for heart disease, such as diabetes, were twice as likely to experience a heart attack or stroke if they had the highest levels of erythritol in their blood, according to the study published Monday in the journal Nature Medicine.
” The human body naturally creates erythritol, but in very low amounts that would not account for the levels they measured, Hazen said. To confirm the findings, Hazen’s team tested another batch of blood samples from over 2,100 patients in the United States and an additional 833 samples gathered by colleagues in Europe through 2018. About three quarters of the participants in all three populations had coronary disease or high blood pressure and about a fifth had diabetes, Hazen said.
