US EditionPopular Sugar Substitute Linked to Brain Cell Damage and Stroke Risk
BOULDER COUNTY, COLORADO, JUL 18 – The study found erythritol impairs brain vascular cells by increasing oxidative stress and altering clotting signals, potentially raising stroke risk, supported by data from 4,000 U.S. and European participants.
- New laboratory research reveals the non-nutritive sweetener erythritol impairs brain microvascular endothelial cell function, published in the Journal of Applied Physiology.
- Non-Nutritive sweeteners such as erythritol have become popular, with growing evidence linking them to adverse vascular effects, raising health concerns.
- In a lab experiment, human brain microvascular endothelial cells showed impaired regulation of blood flow, reduced nitric oxide production, and increased oxidative stress, as the study reports.
- Experts cautioned, `Our study adds to the evidence suggesting that non-nutritive sweeteners that have generally been purported to be safe, may not come without negative health consequences,` said Christopher DeSouza.
- Highlighting research gaps, study authors caution that their cell-based findings require larger in vivo studies to assess long-term effects.

Verve timesPopular sugar substitute linked to brain cell damage and stroke risk
Erythritol, a widely used sugar substitute found in many low-carb and sugar-free products, may not be as harmless as once believed. New research from the University of Colorado Boulder reveals that even small amounts of erythritol can harm brain blood vessel cells, promoting constriction, clotting, and inflammation—all of which may raise the risk of stroke.
Scientists Warn: Popular Sugar Substitute Linked to Brain Cell Damage
New research indicates that erythritol, a sugar substitute commonly recommended for individuals with obesity or diabetes, may carry unexpected health risks. From low-carb ice creams and keto-friendly protein snacks to “sugar-free” sodas, erythritol is a widely used sweetener found in countless diet and specialty food items. However, new findings from the University of Colorado Boulder [...]
Popular sugar substitute linked to brain cell damage and stroke risk: Research - ChiniMandi
Erythritol, a commonly used sugar substitute in many low-carb and sugar-free products, might not be as safe as previously thought. New research from the University of Colorado Boulder shows that erythritol, once hailed as a safe, low-calorie alternative to sugar, could increase the risk of stroke by altering brain blood vessel function. The study, published in the Journal of Applied Physiology, found that erythritol affects brain cells in ways t…
