warn! sweeteners in beverages No sugar, risk of heart attack, paralysis and solid blood vessels, indicating that polyols have a clear relationship
sweetenerIt is an alternative for those who want to reduce sugar intake.
But who would know that such sweeteners have hidden dangers?
Most recently, Prof. Dr. Theerawat Hemajutha (Mr. Theerawat), director of the Center for Emerging Disease Health Sciences. Faculty of Medicine Chulalongkorn University Private Facebook post (Thirawat Hemachudha) with the message that
sweeteners in beverages Without sugar, it’s risky.heart attack, paralysis
Dr. Theerawat said that the report in the journal Nature on February 27, 2023 is a continuous work since the discovery of the relationship of intestinal microbes with inflammation. and atherosclerosis reported in the journal New England and Nature in 2013, and began to find a clear relationship between polyols.
The 2023 study found that erythritol increased platelet sensitivity, increasing the risk of clots.
Dr. Teerawat said that the study began with un targeted metabolomics in 1157 people who came to assess the risk of coronary artery (discovery cohort) by having coronary artery catheterization. They found that levels of polyols, especially erythritol, were associated with increased heart disease and stroke after three years of follow-up.
A subsequent study specifically targeted metabolomics 2149 Americans and 833 Europeans (validation cohort) who assessed the risk of heart disease.
The severity and follow-up data were available several years earlier. There was a clear association between erythritol levels and an increased risk.
(fourth versus first quartile adjusted hazard ratio (95% confidence interval), 1.80 (1.18–2.77) and 2.21 (1.20–4.07), respectively).
Platelet function assays showed increased activation in vitro and increased atherosclerosis in rats.
Dr. Theerawat further said that A specific subsequent study in which eight volunteers ingested 30 grams of erythritol at regular doses either in a beverage or in keto ice cream found elevated blood levels that persisted until two days later.
However, there may be a causal relationship to be cleared up in the near future.

200 to 400 times sweeter than sugar
And in many products, erythritol may be added to make it more convenient to use.
