Artificial sweetener aspartame linked to increased stroke risk, study finds

Study: Popular sugar substitute ERYTHRITOL may harm the brain’s blood vessels
A new study suggests erythritol, a zero-calorie sweetener, may damage brain blood vessel cells, increasing stroke risk by disrupting blood flow regulation and reducing clot-dissolving proteins. Exposure to erythritol in human brain cells caused oxidative stress, reduced nitric oxide (which widens vessels) and increased endothelin-1 (which constricts them), potentially impairing the blood-brain barrier. Once marketed […]
