If you're watching your sugar intake you've probably seen xylitol on the backs of packaged foods labeled as 'calorie free,' or keto or diabetes-friendly.
A new study finds people who consume high levels of the sweetener xylitol are at a greater risk of heart attacks, stroke and death. The research was published Thursday in the European Heart Journal.
If you're watching your sugar intake, you've probably seen xylitol on the backs of packaged food labeled as"calorie free," or keto or diabetes-friendly. "This is like made out of sawdust, you know, wood pulp. It's insidious," Dr. Stanley Hazen, co-section head of preventive cardiology for Cleveland Clinic told Scripps News. He co-authored the study.Eating highly processed foods can cause early death, study finds Elina Tarkazikis 10:07 AM, May 09, 2024 Hazen warns that people who often eat and drink higher amounts of xylitol, like diabetics, are most at risk.
Hazen stresses toothpaste and gum, which use xylitol for cavity prevention, don't carry the same risk because the xylitol is present in small amounts, and we spit those products out."To have a period of time after reaching for that diabetic cookie or candy and being only a couple hours of high-level is a risk, and I would recommend completely avoiding it," he said.
