Sugar alternatives are not created equal. Read more about the recent study findings on Erythritol and the links between blood clotting, stroke, heart attack, and more.
A new study has emerged stating that erythritol, the once beloved sugar replacement, has been linked to blood clotting, stroke, heart attack, and even death.
Erythritol is a sugar alcohol, a carb that is found naturally in many fruits and vegetables. It has been celebrated as the zero-calorie, sugar alternative that doesn’t spike blood sugar. With 70% of the sweetness of sugar, it is commonly used to add bulk or sweeten stevia or monkfruit, for Keto, no-sugar or sugar-reduced products.
Amongst the new research, we are aware that sugar alcohols also can cause unpleasant to severe side effects to the gastrointestinal system. Because sugar substitutes are not digested in the same way as sugar, they aren’t fully absorbed by the body. This can cause a range of symptoms: indigestion, gas, bloating, and more.
At OWYN, What’s Inside Matters. We are proud to assure that our products are free from erythritol or any other sugar alcohols. Our team of medical professionals guide our mission to provide premium formulations that never compromise on nutrition or taste.
In the realm of science and research, sugar alcohols are relatively new and therefore studies continue to be done and long-term effects are not certain. Though they seem to be fairly safe, there are disturbances to the digestive tract and gut bacteria because the body can’t fully digest them.
