The Claim
Erythritol enhances thrombus formation in vivo in a mouse model of arterial injury, resulting in a reduced time to vessel occlusion compared to saline or 1,5-anhydroglucitol.
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.
In mice with injured arteries, erythritol causes blood clots to form faster and blocks blood vessels more quickly than saline or 1,5-anhydroglucitol.
See the scientific wording
Erythritol enhances thrombus formation in vivo in a mouse model of arterial injury, reducing time to vessel occlusion compared to saline or 1,5-anhydroglucitol, suggesting a direct pro-thrombotic effect in a living organism.
When erythritol enters the blood, it makes platelets more sensitive to signals that trigger clotting. This causes calcium levels inside platelets to rise, which activates them and makes them stick together and to damaged blood vessel walls faster. As a result, clots form more quickly and block arteries sooner.
What the research says
1 studyStudy: The artificial sweetener erythritol and cardiovascular event risk
This study found that when mice and humans have high levels of erythritol (a sugar substitute), their blood clots more easily and quickly, which can block arteries. So yes, erythritol appears to make blood clot faster in living animals.
