Oh boy, so now the promising erythritol is also under suspicion. A while ago I read about its benefits for dental health, which seemed to exceed xylitol's, so I even bought a bag (which also included the stevia-class sweetener Reb M). I've read 2022 studies on various non-sugar sweeteners, and statistically, sucralose seems to have a slight advantage over aspartame and acesulfame-k in regards to cancer risk correlation.[1] Whereas aspartame and stevia didn't significantly impair glycemic response / glucose tolerance over a 2-week trial, but sucralose and saccharin did.[2] So each sweetener probably has different downsides. In the end, I think they seem safe enough to have occasionally in place of sugar, though I wouldn't go wild with them. (It's also interesting that this new study comes from Stanley Hazen's lab. He's also published research about the potential cardiovascular risk impact of choline through its metabolite TMAO.)
