New research from Cleveland Clinic found a commonly used artificial sweetener is associated with an increased risk for heart attack and stroke.
“It is used almost on a one-to-one basis as a replacement for sugar in many of the processed food,” explained Dr. Stanley Hazen, a physician scientist for Cleveland Clinic. “Because its flavor is very similar to sugar, it is used in combination with other artificial sweeteners since it gives a more natural flavor and what they call mouth feel.”
He said erythritol is made both inside the cells of our bodies and can be consumed as part of processed artificially sweetened foods. They also learned from a separate study, where healthy volunteers were given a single serving of the artificial sweetener, that blood levels remained elevated above thresholds associated with risk for clotting for several days.
