Story summary
- The University of Colorado study suggests erythritol may compromise the brain's protective barrier and raise stroke risk.
- Laboratory experiments show erythritol disrupts blood vessel function, causing oxidative stress and constricted blood flow.
- The impaired flow could hinder dissolution of blood clots.
- Researchers say the findings align with prior links between high erythritol and cardiovascular events and note erythritol's prevalence in sugar-free and keto products, urging more studies to assess safety.
