Thank you for delving into this study, Robb. I saw it earlier today and admit it concerned me. I started inspecting my various low-carb products (e.g., Ancient Nutrition Bone Broth Protein Powder) for erythritol, stevia, and monk fruit. That pretty much wipes out the kitchen cabinet of keto-friendly sweeteners.

At first, I thought it may be another comical attempt to find a culprit for the spike (pun intended) in excess mortality that started in 2021, but then I saw this was based on blood samples collected between 2004 and 2011.

I hope there are further high-quality studies to probe these findings. Meanwhile, I’ll start reducing my intake as a precaution.

Thanks Robb. I'd love to see more articles coming out from you. You keep promising new substack pieces on Healthy Rebellion podcast but they are nowhere to be seen. Maybe the topics make your blood boil too much which probably increases your risk of CVD more than Erythritol LOL!!
