The Link Between Erythritol and Weight Gain, Diabetes, and Heart Disease

Research suggests that high levels of erythritol, a low-calorie sweetener, in the blood may be associated with weight gain, poor blood sugar control, heart disease, and diabetic complications. However, erythritol in the blood seems to be a consequence of high blood sugar levels, rather than a direct cause of these health issues. Therefore, there is no evidence linking the consumption of erythritol to any disease outcomes, and its effects on health need further evaluation.
