“There appears to be a clotting risk from using erythritol,” Freeman said. “Obviously, more research is needed, but in an abundance of caution, it might make sense to limit erythritol in your diet for now.”


If I could eliminate one one phase from the English lexicon, it would be “in an abundance of caution”

My pancreas doesn't make insulin so I am stuck with Splenda and Stevia. Sugar will kill me faster.

I’ll wait for Layne Norton to debunk this nonsense.

I usually use two packs of aspartame, know why? Because they’re Equal.

I’ll have my Community Coffee strong and black. Drink it a while you will love it and won’t have it any other way.

Tea unsweetened. Whiskey -straight or with ice.

Sweetleaf doesn’t use erythitol as filler, it uses inulin, which is just soluble vegetable fiber. Enjoy your sweetleaf.

Stevia is perfectly fine and better than Sugar for you. Move along

I use honey to sweeten any food product.

There’s no substitute for eating healthy and managing your intake. Fake sugars are all bad for you and probably worse than actual sugar

Who would have thought that Aspartame was the safest artificial sweetener available?

Not going to read, but I assume this is about erythritol and not actually stevia. Erythritol has been known to be bad for a while (I think.) It can be included in the healthier substitutes, but you can still get them without it.

OP is stupid. Stevia isn’t bad and doesn’t kill you. The article says that the erythritol is added in bulk to stevia which is then called truvia. Stevia itself is not bad. Moron

Monk fruit is by far the best sweetener

A sugar replacement called erythritol – used to add bulk or sweeten stevia, monkfruit and keto reduced-sugar products – has been linked to blood clotting, stroke, heart attack and death, according to a new study.

Erythritol isn’t in the big bag of Great Value Stevia I use, but it is in the individual packets. Weird
