      Don't say that! It's the only thing that makes avoiding the sucrose/fructose killer pair a godsend. I did read that its cousin, Erythritol, was the culprit. Will have to deep dive the research again.

      Sigh.

        After a quick read, I note further research is imperative to confirm the implication. Which doesn't negate the suspicion. It also occurs that possibly those with cardio-vascular issues are more likely to be taking artificial sweeteners.

        I take it (in moderation) to try to allay gum disease caused by sucrose-laden foods. Which it seems to, as the theory describes.

        Fortunately I'm not a big user of sweeteners overall.

        In conclusion, sigh.

          As always, further research required.

          It seems "-ol" is always a problem for us mammals.
