Looks like they're trying to blame Erythritol and Xylitol for suddenly clotting. Anything but the clot shot!
🧘Mental/Physical Health 🏋🏼♂️
A friend sent me these hit pieces earlier today. The study is of course full of holes and not even statistically significant with just 20 people but of course there's plenty of scary word salad.

Yeah I've been using monk fruit and stevia (with erythritol) as a 1:1 sugar substitute in baking, pancakes, coffee sweetener for some time now and never felt intestinal distress myself but I don't consume large amounts of it anyway since my tastebuds long ago re-sensitized to sweetness. Even if I use it to just replace half of the sugar in a batch of cookies or muffins it makes for a big drop in calories without affecting the taste.
My friend who was panicking about this wasn't comprehending that from the few numbers I could dig up about this "study" these people were essentially consuming enough to be equivalent to over a liter of soda a day which is terrible for you to begin with.
