Erythritol, a zero-calorie artificial sweetener widely used in low-sugar and keto products, has been linked in some patients to blood clotting and an increased risk of cardiovascular events, including heart attacks and strokes, according to a new study. The paper, published Monday in the journal Nature Medicine, found that older adults consuming high amounts of erythritol who were already at risk of heart disease were twice as likely to experience a heart attack or stroke.
“It’s on par with the strongest of cardiac risk factors, like diabetes,” lead study author Dr. Stanley Hazen told CNN. In expanding their research, Hazen’s team at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio also found that erythritol appeared to be causing clots in some animal and lab studies. Overall, Hazen cautioned, “The degree of risk was not modest.” But some researchers and nutritionists warned that further research is needed—on erythritol and beyond.“We have work to do on every single one of the artificial sweeteners,” Kimber Stanhope, a research nutritional biologist at UC Davis, told Stat News. “It’s ridiculous how understudied they are.” Read more at CNN.
They’re digging deep for reasons to cover the injection deaths. I’m not saying the sugar substitutes are safe. However….
The shelves in supermarkets get overloaded with “fat free” options and people blindly buy them thinking of them as healthier alternatives. Meanwhile these products have more added sugars to make up for the taste, so it’s actually much worse!
There are other side effects that come from consuming any artificial sweetener (Aspartame, Sucralose, Saccharin, etc.), including disrupting your physiological functions. Even though there may not be actual sugar in these ingredients, your body releases insulin, which is a natural reaction after perceiving something to be sweet. This leads to blood sugar spikes, which in turn increases cravings and over-eating. Our mouths have become trained to link the feeling and texture of food with our caloric intake, and since artificially sweetened foods aren’t as dense as sugar-sweetened ones, we tend to eat more.
This imbalance has been linked to type 2 diabetes, which totally negates the reason that some people are shifting towards artificial sweeteners in the first place.
But yet Covid vaccines are 100% healthy and safe. Go figure.
Both, those behind vaccines and those behind sugar substitutes should be behind bars.
