#1 And sugar is healthy?

#2 Since 1990, erythritol has had a history of safe use as a sweetener and flavor-enhancer in food and beverage products, and is approved for use by government regulatory agencies of more than 60 countries.

Erythritol is absorbed rapidly into the blood, with peak amounts occurring in under two hours; the majority of an oral dose (80 to 90%) is excreted unchanged in the urine within 24 hours.

Apparently, the study showed...high but considered safe doses of erythritol were shown to be associated by heightened blood clotting ... .

So don't overdo the stuff, or you'll get vax symptoms. Hey! I wonder if the study controlled for vaccination status?

#3 But don't worry about the mRNA jabs that do the same things.

#4 I wonder if the study controlled for vaccination status?

"Hey, shut up!", they explained. "We're scientists."

#6 I have ignored all the health hysteria during my lifetime and somehow, by some inexplicable miracle, have made it to 74.

#7 Sooner or later we will all die. The only question is when and how. I prefer later and not from diabetes or morbid obesity so I avoid sugar like the plague.

#8 I can get by nicely without the artificial crap too.

#9 A BS article? I tried looking up "fromerythritol" and found scant information on it. Even Wikipedia doesn't have an article on this.

And there's no mention of what brand name(s) the sweeter is sold under.

#10 From the cited study, an 'oh, by the way' - Many observational epidemiological studies report that artificial sweetener use is associated with various adverse health outcomes including CVD mortality, while others do not.

One possible explanation for these conflicting findings is the difficulty in reliably quantifying that vascular disease and thrombosis are multifactorial phenotypes. [You mean, like, complex relationships? Ya think?]

The association of circulating erythritol levels with incident CVD event risks and enhanced thrombosis formation in preclinical models may thus involve factors beyond platelet responsiveness.

Like spike proteins, perhaps? Family history? Genetic makeup? SO 'more study' is suggested.
