Headlines connecting a popular plant-based sweetener to cardiovascular issues have people panicking. A new study reported that elevated blood levels of erythritol, a plant-based zero-calorie sugar substitute, are linked to an increased risk of major cardiovascular events like heart attack and stroke. There were a number of limitations to the study, and also nuances to understand about our body’s natural production of erythritol, which I outline in this week’s episode of FUELED. Tune in to learn what you need to know about erythritol and why I still feel comfortable using it as a replacement for sugar.LINKS 2023 Review in the Journal Nutrients | Erythritol: An In-Depth Discussion of Its Potential to Be a Beneficial Dietary Component | https://bit.ly/3EQfqRAThe New York Times: Study Suggests Possible Link Between Sugar Substitute and Heart Issues.
