Common Sweetener Could Damage Critical Brain Barrier, Risking Stroke - ScienceAlert

Introduction

Erythritol, a common sweetener found in many everyday products, has long been touted as a safe alternative to sugar. However, recent research has revealed that this seemingly harmless ingredient may actually pose a significant risk to our health. Specifically, it has been found that erythritol can damage the critical brain barrier, potentially increasing the risk of stroke.

Key Details

The brain barrier, also known as the blood-brain barrier, is a vital protective mechanism that separates the brain from the rest of the body. Its main function is to prevent harmful substances from entering the brain and causing damage. However, studies have shown that erythritol has the ability to weaken this barrier, making it easier for potentially harmful substances to enter the brain.

Furthermore, erythritol has been linked to an increase in the risk of stroke. This is due to its ability to increase the production of a type of protein that can cause inflammation and damage to blood vessels. This can ultimately lead to a higher risk of stroke, a serious and potentially life-threatening condition.

Impact

The findings of this research are concerning, as erythritol is found in a wide range of products, including protein bars, energy drinks, and even sugar-free gum. As such, many people may be unknowingly consuming this sweetener on a daily basis,
