A widely used sugar substitute might not be as safe as it appears.

New research from the University of Colorado Boulder suggests that erythritol—a common sweetener in many “sugar-free” and “keto” products—could affect brain blood vessel cells in ways that may raise the risk of stroke.

Lab experiments showed that just one serving’s worth of erythritol caused blood vessels to constrict, lowered the production of natural clot-busting compounds, and increased harmful free radicals.

This could help explain findings from a recent study of 4,000 people, which revealed that those with higher erythritol levels in their blood were more likely to experience a heart attack or stroke in the following years.

Erythritol is FDA-approved, low-calorie, and doesn’t raise blood sugar—qualities that make it popular among those with diabetes or on low-carb diets. However, this study raises concerns and calls for caution. Researchers recommend checking labels and monitoring intake.

While more human studies are needed, these early results suggest that the true cost of sugar-free sweetness may be greater than we think.
