I started using #stevia to sweeten my teas. At first I got a box of stevia packets from the store. There are 2 problems with the packets. First: 1 packet contains equivalent sweetness to 2 tsp of sugar, which is too much for me. 2nd problem is that the packets are cut with #erythritol, which has been shown to increase blood clotting, stroke, heart attack and death. The solution is to get pure stevia in a dropper. Each drop is like 1/4 tsp sugar, no erythritol, tastes better, cheaper.

Found in everything from protein bars to energy drinks, erythritol has long been considered a safe alternative to sugar. But new research suggests this widely-used sweetener may be quietly undermining one of the body's most crucial protective barriers—with potentially serious consequences for heart health and stroke risk.

Consuming a drink with erythritol—a sweetener often used in stevia, monk fruit, and keto products—more than doubled the risk of blood clotting in 10 healthy people, according to a new pilot study. Clots can break off from blood vessels and travel to the heart, triggering a heart attack, or to the brain, causing a stroke. Previous research has also linked erythritol to a higher risk of stroke, heart attack, and death. #HealthRisks #Erythritol #ArtificialSweeteners #HeartHealth #KetoDiet
