Study: Common Sweetener Erythritol Can Impact Brain Cells, Boost Stroke Risk
Berry et al. demonstrate that erythritol -- at a concentration typically contained in a standard-size commercially available artificially sweetened beverage -- adversely affects brain microvascular endothelial cell oxidative stress, eNOS activation and NO production, ET-1 expression, and t-PA release in vitro.

Erythritol, a common non-nutritive sweetener, is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events, according to new research from the University of Colorado, Boulder.
