Mindsip insights from this episode:
Limit erythritol intake to reduce platelet aggregation risk
In a human study, consuming 30 grams of erythritol statistically increased platelet aggregation (clotting) 30 minutes later when compared to baseline.
Investigate transient effects on blood platelets post-consumption
The negative effects on blood platelets were only measured 30 minutes after consumption, and it's unknown if these effects persist hours later.
Reevaluate long-term studies linking erythritol to heart attacks
Previous long-term studies linking blood erythritol to heart attacks are flawed because participants with higher levels also tended to be sicker to begin with.
Consume erythritol in moderation without concern
If you consume erythritol in passing or in small amounts, like in gum, there is likely no need to change your habits based on current evidence.
Compare erythritol doses in processed foods and natural sources
The study used a 30-gram dose, common in processed foods, whereas erythritol found naturally in fruits is often less than 100 milligrams.
Investigate erythritol's effect on blood platelet activation
The sugar substitute erythritol is believed to activate blood platelets, potentially through calcium signaling, which can lead them to clump together.
