>We report a previously unrecognized metabolism of glucose to erythritol, and given the association between erythritol and weight gain, research is needed to understand whether and how this pathway contributes to weight gain risk. Erythritol is a pentose-phosphate pathway metabolite and associated with adiposity gain in young adults | PNAS https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.1620079114 https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.1620079114
