The Claim
Erythritol impairs cerebral microvascular function, reduces cerebral blood flow, and contributes to cognitive decline over time.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Consuming erythritol is associated with reduced blood flow in the brain's small vessels and a decline in cognitive function over time.
See the scientific wording
Erythritol may impair cerebral microvascular function, potentially reducing cerebral blood flow and contributing to cognitive decline over time.
Erythritol enters the bloodstream and damages the inner lining of tiny blood vessels in the brain, making them less able to widen and deliver oxygen. This starves brain cells over time, leading to slower thinking and memory problems.
What the research says
1 studyPeople who ate or drank a lot of artificial sweeteners like erythritol over 8 years had slightly worse memory and word-finding skills than those who ate less — suggesting it might harm brain function over time.
