Good point. This paper gets more hype then is appropriate. First it looked at a group of already very sick people: > Over 40% had already had a heart attack.

Good point. This paper gets more hype then is appropriate. First it looked at a group of already very sick people: > Over 40% had already had a heart attack. Over 15% were in heart failure. Over 25% had type 2 diabetes. Over 70% had hypertension. And over 70% had coronary artery disease! [1] This is important because: > people with this metabolic profile (Syndrome X) have been shown to have an overactive PPP & likely produce more erythritol (PMID: 20711518) Therefore, it is highly likely that this paper is simply a case of reverse causality. [1] This gets underscored through: > the authors’ finding that erythritol levels remain well above the cohort ranges for at least a day after consumption, suggests that none of the cohort patients were consuming erythritol in their diets [2] [1] https://www.instagram.com/p/CpQspxwgqgT/ https://www.instagram.com/p/CpQspxwgqgT/ [2] https://peterattiamd.com/more-hype-than-substance-erythritol-and-cardiovascular-risk/ https://peterattiamd.com/more-hype-than-substance-erythritol...
