Shocking New Erythritol Study Was Not What Anyone Expected (clotting, stroke, heart attack)

I was a PR exec. You need to find out the origin of the study, who is funding it, and know that it may require a deep dive, since PR firms hide this info using all manor of tactics.

Key Insights: 1. A new interventional study in 2024 suggests erythritol consumption may increase blood clotting risk. 2. The study involved 20 subjects who consumed either 30g of erythritol or glucose after fasting overnight. 3. Blood samples were taken and treated with agonists (ADP and thrombin activator peptide 6) in a petri dish. 4. Results showed a 1000-fold increase in blood erythritol levels and increased platelet aggregation in the erythritol group. 5. The study also found increased markers of platelet activation (serotonin and CXCL4) in the erythritol group. 6. Thomas critiques the study's methodology, pointing out that the blood was manipulated in vitro, which may not reflect real-world conditions in the human body. 7. The study only took measurements at one time point (30 minutes after consumption), not accounting for how the body might process erythritol over time. 8. Thomas questions the study's small sample size (20 participants) and the fact that only healthy individuals were included. 9. The critique suggests potential bias, noting that this research group has previously published controversial studies on erythritol and xylitol. 10. Thomas argues that the potential risks of erythritol should be weighed against the known risks of consuming sugary beverages. Conclusion: While the 2024 erythritol study raises concerns about potential blood clotting risks, Thomas argues that its methodology and design have significant limitations. The in vitro manipulation of blood samples, single time point measurement, small sample size, and potential research bias call into question the study's real-world applicability. More comprehensive research is needed to fully understand the effects of erythritol consumption on human health, especially in comparison to the known risks of sugar consumption. Until then, Thomas suggests that the results should be interpreted cautiously and not necessarily lead to abandoning erythritol use entirely.

Medical technologist worked in medical labs for 21 years. You are correct there is a problem with the study. That does not mean there is no problem with erythritol. Design a better study. I am diabetic I avoid All artificial sweeteners they all increase the bad actions of sugar and I have found have worse side effects for me. I have managed to kick insulin with diet and exercise. Very mild exercise, stretching and walking my dog. I am disabled, a veteran, and have to go low impact with the exercise. I am 67. I have already lived longer than my grandfather with diabetes. We also have better treatments than were available in his day. God bless everyone, congrats on looking for the best solutions that work for you.

After 3 years of Keto I had triglycerides levels in the 300 range, but I had not idea why. After reading the first study on erythritol I completely removed it from my diet, despite everyone saying that study was bad, because my common sense told me that there was something weird going on with it. After 1 month my triglycerides went down to the 100 range.

It should be illegal to hide who is funding the research and study. Just saying, it wouldn’t surprise if someone from the sugar industry foot the bill to “find” bad things with alternative sugars

I was involved in a study sponsored by a major corporation that shut it down as soon as the data began to spike results the corporation could not use in marketing.

This is anecdotal, but I was having pains in my heart because I was only drinking erythritol based drinks. After I stopped, I no longer feel the pains.

Who funded the study ? Follow the money

I love Erythritol and xylitol and have no problems using them in small amounts. I really love Stevia!

Leaving this comment so I can come back when more studies are done and conclusions about this topic are reached! 🙌🏻
