The Claim
High-dose erythritol consumption (30 g) rapidly elevates plasma erythritol concentrations more than 1,000-fold above baseline, maintains these elevated levels above thresholds associated with increased platelet reactivity and thrombosis for over 48 hours, and is associated with a 3-year increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events in observational studies.
What the research says
Roughly balanced
Support and challenge are close. The picture may shift as more studies come in.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Eating a lot of erythritol (like 30 grams) causes a huge spike in your blood levels of it that lasts for more than two days, and this might make your blood more likely to clot, which could raise your risk of heart problems over the next few years.
See the scientific wording
Erythritol consumption at high doses (30 g) rapidly elevates plasma concentrations over 1,000-fold above baseline, sustaining levels above thresholds linked to increased platelet reactivity and thrombosis for over 48 hours, and is associated with a 3-year higher risk of major adverse cardiovascular events in observational studies.
What the research says
1 studyStudy: Potential Effects of Low-Calorie Sweeteners on Human Health
The study cites both a large cohort study linking plasma erythritol to cardiovascular events and a small intervention study showing acute pro-thrombotic effects, supporting a novel association between erythritol and cardiovascular risk.
