Zero calorie sweetener linked to heart attack and stroke, study finds | CNN
A sugar replacement used in many stevia, monk-fruit, keto and other reduced-sugar products marketed for weight loss and diabetes has been linked to stroke, heart attack and early death, a new study found.
They’re full of shit. I did keto a couple of years ago and lost 60 lbs FAST. My kids were freaked out about it, so I had my doctor run every single lab she could think of. Everything was perfect except I was low in vitamin D. Winter in Wisconsin - EVERYBODY’s low on vitamin d. I used erythritol religiously in sweets when I needed them.
Thank you. I just love it too . I never trusted sucralose , but yes I use erythritol and Monk fruit sweetener probably once every two days on average. People like to say that it poses the same threat as real sugar because the body craves sweets if you have something sweet , even if what you eat contains no sugar. However , think that’s a psychological versus biochemical threat.
Yeah … Everyone is low in vitamin D… I live in South Florida and I am also low ,before keto!
Moral of the story is: Don't drink that sh*t.
Drink water, you can have sparkling water if that's the thing that you miss.
Brew your own real (organic) coffee or tea. Use cream, not milk. (Milk is chock full of lactose, which is also a sugar.
Stop cultivating the taste-buds of a three-year old. Sweetened drinks are simply stupid, as they stimulate the release of insulin, giving one a high and then a low. And the purpose of insulin is to convert sugar into fat, for later, Even artificial sweeteners do this, as the body reacts to the taste. So, artificial sweeteners make you fat, as well. LOL at the scam of replacing a sweet sugar with sweet artificial sweetener. They are both as bad as each other.
Seriously folks we do not need sweeteners, be they sugar or artificial.
Can't say much about sugar replacements and what they do but this video is does a great job explaining how your body handles "sugar" if you have about 20 minutes.

Now do the same study with 30g of cane sugar and tell me it isn't worse.
Exactly! No one is saying it isn’t better just to opt out of anything sweet all together, to be honest. But don’t we all get that sweet tooth? And besides that there’s sugar in so many things that are not even sweet. I told my mom this, who makes no hesitation to cut up as many articles as she finds linking diet soda to cancer, or whatever shock value du jour .. Being from Florida I also assume that the sugarcane farmers are up to some propaganda… No disrespect to them, probably just the way it goes, like the tobacco farmers have to😂
I only use pure stevia for general consumption (coffee, lemon water) but for baking I use coconut sugar. I think you will find some of your answers in this article by Dr. Axe..

Monk fruit is great too if you can find it in pure form - you use so much less in recipes than traditional sweeteners. It’s so expensive (because it’s potent) and most product you can buy now has been cut with erythritol. :( I discovered monk fruit years ago because of its zero glycemic index and it was easy to find in pure form back then but not anymore.
I literally just bought my first bag of monk fruit in the raw and discovered it had erythritol in it and 2 days later this comes out. I doubt it’s a cover for vax injuries but who knows. I may try the straight monk fruit w/o additive now.
Well the liquid stevia has really jumped in price but at a couple drops per serving it lasts awhile. Yeah, I like low glycemic items too...not really into overly sweet stuff...
I’m replying on my own post because I needed to add something. I’m on a Keto ( high fat /low carb) diet for the last 2 months.. so I was eating these ketowise snacks like candy 😳.
Keto FTW! we are keto also... I try not to do sweetened things, but it helps my sons and husband. We usually use stevia but it doesn’t apply in all recipes.
They’re trying to show that Stevia is responsible for infertility now, too…like they were ever interested in our health 🤣
Hard to know what to believe. I hear that watching TV and gardening cause heart attacks too!! 🤣😂
My new belief is eat as close to real as possible with no additives. Eat like our ancestors ate. Mine did have pure cane syrup made from their sugar cane. They ate fresh farm eggs and beef, pork and fish. They ate vegetables they grew. They fried in lard. Ice cream was churned at home. Both grandmothers lived to be 96. Greatgrandparents died at an old age too.
Yes. Nourishing Traditions is the cookbook you want!
I have to watch my carb intake- the prediabetes problem I have I need to overcome. But real food is where it is at.
Exactly 🤣
Sugar alchols aren't like sugar.
Almost no calories for erythriol.
Try Swerve for keto. 1/1 ratio granule, confections and brown. We love it at our house.
Maybe it’s both. Would be easy to control for the jab in a study, but at this point almost everyone has had COVID - which itself is probably a risk factor… from the spike proteins. A large study came out a few years back about diet soda increasing your stroke risk so I would not discount the erythritol as a contributor either.
Maybe as a control they can use erythritol consumption but as variables they can do the study between Vaccinated and unvaccinated
Whats a good source of vitamin D?
Lots of gel caps. I would burn to a crisp to get enough vit d. In the winter you could go naked all day outside and never get enough with just sunlight.
Yeah, just came back from hawaii so got lots of it. But I just wanted to know any other ways I could keep the levels up. Thank you.
Sunshine...
No shit sherlock.
Lol, you asked
