Sugar-Free, But At What Cost?
A study by the Cleveland Clinic found that xylitol, a common sugar substitute, might increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Researchers studied over 3,000 people and discovered that those with high levels of xylitol in their blood had more active blood platelets, which can lead to dangerous blood clots. This challenges the idea that xylitol is a safe alternative to sugar. The study suggests we should be cautious about consuming products with xylitol and calls for more research to understand its long-term health effects.

In a comprehensive study spearheaded by the Cleveland Clinic, new evidence has come to light linking the consumption of xylitol, a popular zero-calorie sugar substitute, to an increased risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes. This significant finding, published in the European Heart Journal, highlights the need for further scrutiny of the health implications associated with sugar alcohols and artificial sweeteners, which have seen a substantial rise in use over the past decade.
