oh man now erythrotol is causing heart

attacks and strokes now I’m gonna have

to change all my videos I’ve been

promoting erythritol for years

now I gotta redo all these darning

videos darn it all right on a serious

note I’m just being sarcastic okay let’s

talk about this uh fascinating study

that was just released it’s all over the

news it’s all over social media that

erythritol in your blood is now

correlated to higher incidence of heart

attacks and strokes now when I see

something like this all over the news

right just out of the blue I want to

know the source of the study the who’s

funding the study and I’m going to put

some links Down Below on that topic and

if you actually read the study there are

some really interesting not just red

flags but serious omissions okay and I

want to talk about them there’s actually

four points about the study I’m going to

make it really simple I’m not going to

get into the nitty-gritty of all the

details of the study but I want to talk

about the four big problems with this

study the first one involves this word

called correlation correlation refers to

something that has a similar Association

usually some measurement our number it

has nothing to do with causation so let

me just kind of give you an example of

correlation statistically there’s a

correlation of

99.79 percent of government spending on

Science and Space technology in the

state of Maine

and the number of suicides from hangings

so if you were to look at that from a

causation

you would want to dramatically reduce

the amount of spending in the schools on

this technology right I mean that’s

totally illogical let’s look at another

one there’s a 94.7 percent correlation

between cheese consumption in the United

States per person in pounds and people

dying from being Tangled in bed sheets

so in other words there’s a correlated

statistical increase between so many

years and this also correlates between

the total amount of revenue generated by

skiing facilities in the US so you can

see these disrelated things have a very

similar correlation personally I think

there’s a very high statistical

correlation like it’s probably close to

100 percent of information being put out

by the news and it being completely

false so point one correlation doesn’t

mean causation this was an observational

study not a very high quality study all

right number two this study was not

based on how much

erythritol was consumed by people it did

not measure dietary erythritol at all

that was not measured in this main study

what was measured was just the amount of

erythrotrol in the blood that could have

come from your body making it our bodies

actually make erythritol it’s called

endogenous

erythritol and chances are erythritol is

not really that popular so this study

could basically be just measuring

endogenous

erythritol which is erythritol made by

your own body now the third point I want

to bring up will explain number two

why would your body actually make

erythritol in the first place why would

it make high amounts well erythritol is

produced when you metabolize glucose

okay so the more sugar you consume the

more you’re a diabetic the more fructose

you consume the more erythritol you’re

going to make

erythritol is also made when there’s

oxidative stress in the body and so it’s

made when you have liver disease kidney

disease diabetes it also has increased

when you have belly fat which is

correlated probably from the amount of

carbs you consume it’s also produced

when you consume a lot of alcohol so

that’s an interesting piece of

information so how can we really know if

these cardiovascular events are caused

by the erythritol or by the person’s

overall health and the other thing you

should know about this study the great

majority of the people in this study had

high blood pressure had diabetes they

were in very very poor health just

something you should know and number

four okay and this is the icing on the

cake

if you look up research on erythritol

okay you’re going to find some really

interesting counter information

erythritol apparently is an antioxidant

it has anti-inflammatory properties it

has the potential to lower A1C blood

glucose improve insulin resistance

it has the ability to increase insulin

sensitivity it apparently in one study

showed that it improved endothelial

function and can decrease the aortic

stiffness and apparently it can even

slow down weight gain in my studies that

were fed a high fat diet that’s very

interesting could it possibly be that

erythritol is increasing to counter the

bad effects of sugar creating oxidative

stress and lowering inflammation is that

a possibility so apparently if you align

all of this data together it sounds to

me that it’s definitely more likely

something that’s trying to help you than

something that’s trying to hurt you so

you know honestly I just I don’t like

doing these videos because it’s kind of

a reaction to something in the news

which is kind of a distraction from

other topics that I really want to talk

about on a daily basis in my videos but

I just wanted to give you a summary on

this so you have all the info so you

personally can make up your own mind on

whether erythritol is is the bad guy or

possibly even the good guy now check

this part out this is extracted from the

conclusion of one of the studies talking

about erythritol says this in summary

erythritol significantly decrease

metabolic disorders such as obesity

glucose intolerance dys lipidemia which

is a kind of a dysfunction of your

lipids and fats and fat accumulation in

the liver which were induced by a high

fat diet in particular it exerted

anti-inflammatory effects in the

intestine yes this study was done in

mice but still it showed that there’s

actually a benefit of taking erythritol

now since we’re sort of on the topic of

cardiovascular events if you really want

to know what can support your heart you

should check this video out right here
