A common sweetener, erythritol, causes stress in brain vessel cells, reduces protective nitric oxide, and blocks clot-busting signals.
A new study from the University of Colorado Boulder has cracked open a side of erythritol that few expected. It’s not about weight gain or tooth decay. It’s about what this sweetener does to your brain’s blood vessels that may elevate the risk of a stroke.

New research has found increasing levels of artificial sweeteners in wastewater treatment plants, with downstream impacts on the environment
New research has found increasing levels of artificial sweeteners in wastewater treatment plants, with downstream impacts on the environment. Artificial sweeteners, widely used in soft drinks, processed foods and sugar-free products such as toothpaste, are increasingly turning up far from supermarket shelves—in our rivers, waterways and natural ecosystems. Some sugar substitutes have faced controversy for potential negative health effects, including links to type-2 diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Some also pose toxicity risks to aquatic animals. In zebrafish, sucralose causes birth defects and high levels of saccharin are neurotoxic.

A year-long trial found that replacing sugar with low- or no-calorie sweeteners helped adults keep more weight off (about 1.6 kg extra) without harmful changes; gut microbes shifted in a way that looked fine.
Minor rant
I am so sick of the sugarification and diet culture of everything.
Everything comes with sugar, even things that aren't meant to and naturally taste different, such as plant-based milks, liquorice and matcha. I have to go out of my way to find a low sugar version or get told to add sugar when I order it.
On the other side when I do go to get the low sugar versions its seen as me participating in some weird diet culture bs and its just full of gross sweeteners. No I don't get sugar-free because of that I just don't want sweets, they aren't my thing generally. And not to mention its somehow more expensive at times.
Sugar is good for you, glucose helps with energy and brain power. Eating sweet things can make you happy, which is a good thing, so it's healthy.
Are there diabetic and insulin resistant people? Yes, I am the latter. So having access to sugar free food is great and needs to be more accessible, but also, just stop making the alternative shoving it full of sweeteners, please.
Soooooo, I may have seen something that bee post with like a million notes. I suddenly can't find it, but if you haven't seen it, it basically amounted to "vegans can eat honey. it doesn't hurt the bees. They actually prefer it. They make too much and it means a giant ape protects them from predators and the elements. It's a win win. They could leave at any point but they don't unless their beekeeper is doing a bad job taking care of them. Them staying the closest thing to consent for use of an animal product as you can get."
Obviously, big companies still do things that we shouldn't ignore, but local bee keepers and hobby beekeepers often treat their 20,000-80,000 little pets very well. (Obviously, you should still judge on an individual basis)
Anyway, I may have spent an hour and a half making this:
It's supposed to be a Twitter header kinda thing. Feel free to use it! (Let me know if you do? You don't have to, I just like knowing when people like my art :)

Among other alditols coming in the biological world are erythritol, D-mannitol and xylitol, the last of which is used as a sweetening agent in 'sugarless' gum, confectionery and sweet cereals (figure 22.6).

GALTx eNews: Xylitol By Any Other Name
No matter what you call it, Xylitol is a sugar substitute that is deadly for dogs. It has long been used in chewing gums and sugar free foods. It is now ubiquitous, turning up in everything from clothing to medications to peanut butter to cosmetics. To make matters worse, it now goes by a number of other names, making it harder for dog parents to spot it and keep their dogs safe. These names include:
wood sugar
birch sugar
birch bark extract
sucre de bouleau
European code E967 or just 967
Meso-Xylitol
Xlitol
Xylite
Xylo-pentane-1,2,3,4,5
Sugar Alcohols
XyloSweet
Lite&Sweet
Xyla
Global Sweet
Xylitol, by any of these names, will sometimes be listed under “other ingredients,” “inactive ingredients,” or “supplemental facts” and is often referred to as a “natural flavor.” Please be sure you are carefully reviewing all of the ingredients and labeling for anything not made for dogs that you give your dog or that your dog might be able to get into. Your dog’s well being depends on your diligence.
