Erythritol, a widely used sugar substitute found in many low-carb and sugar-free products, may not be as harmless as once believed. New research from the University of Colorado Boulder reveals that even small amounts of erythritol can harm brain blood vessel cells, promoting constriction, clotting, and inflammation—all of which may raise the risk of stroke.

    Well, actually I’m upset that it’s harder to find good selection of regular sugar drinks. Even regular Cola and Pepsi has replaced half of it’s sugar with sweeteners and you can taste it. You have to go to a bigger market so you can find some Mexican cane sugar cola, but that has never had the same taste. Not bad, but not the same.
