I reserve the right to be spectacle about Big Sugar having something to do with funding this kind of research, BUT if it is true, this does kind of suck. Erythritol seems to be THE non-sugar sweetener atm. They put it in everything. So much so, that 90% of specifically otherwise labeled sweeteners, i.e. stevia, monk fruit, allulose etc, are usually "blends" that are mostly erythritol. Check your labels, even brands like Purevia/Truvia which heavily imply that they are "pure - (ste)via" or "true - (ste)via", have erythritol as their primary ingredient. The same is true for the bigger brands like equal/splenda etc. It's hard to find actual stevia or other sweeteners without erythritol.
