Maybe we should just settle on using the real thing. Sugar.
Ping!..................
How long has erythritol been around?
How long have they been seeing an uptick of these ‘erythritol’ clots?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythritol
History
Erythritol was discovered in 1848 by Scottish chemist John Stenhouse[8] and first isolated in 1852. In 1950 it was found in blackstrap molasses that was fermented by yeast, and it became commercialized as a sugar alcohol in the 1990s in Japan.[9]
Or honey.
Any time you ingest something your body makes little, or nothing, of, your blood levels are similarly increased.
DON'T FOOL WITH MOTHER NATURE!!!
Who paid for the study?
Not sure what to make of this except the obvious:
If they put as much effort into anti sars-cov-2 therapies, we wouldn’t be facing a new public health crisis.
But that wouldn’t have been so bountiful (power & money)...
National Association of Sugar Producers
That is the question, isn’t it? So many things causing clots these days that we never heard of before 2020…
Archer-Daniels-Midland
If I take a vaccine after consuming Stevia, will I be saved? What about a few dozen boosters?
Oliver Jones, a professor of chemistry at RMIT University in Australia, noted that the study had revealed only a correlation, not causation.
“As the authors themselves note, they found an association between erythritol and clotting risk, not definitive proof such a link exists,” Jones, who was not involved in the research, said in a statement.
“Any possible (and, as yet unproven) risks of excess erythritol would also need to be balanced against the very real health risks of excess glucose consumption.”
Thanks for posting! This is the 2nd such article I’ve seen on this. My wife and I have been using Erythritol but I stopped after seeing the first article. Strokes run in my family and heart issues in my wife’s (I’m still working on her). While the article says it’s correlated I’d rather not take the chance. Perhaps more research will give more definitive answers. In the meantime...
“Here are four key points about this study:
1. Correlation does not mean causation.
2. This study was based on endogenous erythritol and did not measure dietary erythritol. The body makes endogenous erythritol.
3. The body produces erythritol when you metabolize sugar, have oxidative stress or belly fat, or consume alcohol. The great majority of people in this study were in poor health, so how do we know erythritol was the problem?
4. Other research has liked erythritol to many different health benefits.”

Maybe each bag of Stevia should come with a bottle of Eliquis.................
I have bags of Swerve at home but I only used it a few months earlier this year. Probably will toss them. Artificial sweeteners probably aren’t the best for our bodies. I drank Diet Coke for 35 years almost exclusively but quit it back in June. Can’t say I feel any different. On Mounjaro now too... man that stuff works great!
I'm DOOMED!......................
