• The study observed that erythritol consumption significantly increased blood clot formation in healthy volunteers.
• Participants showed a 1,000-fold increase in erythritol levels after consuming foods with the sweetener.
• Researchers recommend further long-term studies to assess the safety of erythritol and other sugar substitutes.
