Through lifestyle changes, I am no longer per-diabetic, primarily from dietary changes. From adding in exercise, I no longer am on blood pressure medication. From allergy treatments over years, my body now has a lower inflammatory response and I am off allergy medicines and drastically reduce the need for asthma medications. Changes like these have drastically improved my health. It really is lifestyle that has to be addressed!

Wrong way to look at it. Some of these things often DO help cause heart attacks (eggs are fine and healthy in moderation however), but they don't explain the recent increase... Erythritol is toxic to heart health according to new evidence but it being toxic to hearts surely isn't new at all. It isn't behind the recent large INCREASE in cardiovascular death!

One might variously encounter very $$$ "raw" (unpasteurized) butter, "cultured" butters (sometimes marketed as "European" style) at some grocery stores. Some particularly delicious varieties from my experience were nationally distributed brands, e.g. "President's French Sea Salt" butter, Kerry Gold butter (grass fed, imported), on hindsight premium varieties were never easy on a budget!

Worked at a coffee stand most of last year, and noticed that customers requesting Splenda typically ask for multiple packets to be mixed into a single cuppa joe. And always obese, go figure.

[@Undomaranel]

Anecdotally, it's because they don't learn how to control themselves. Growing up we didn't have much despite the parents being obese. We ate lots of Mac and cheese, pastas, potatoes... and the $1 burger deals. As an adult stress eating is real, especially because I was trained to associate an overly full belly with security. No one could demand I share that bowl of stew with the younger siblings if it was in my belly. No one could take that chocolate bar away, that I earned through chores, if I was actively enjoying it. So you take those survival habits into adulthood and bam: extra sweetener is a privilege you can enjoy now, you've made it, you're stable. Giving them up is harder than just not having them, because of the stigma and ingrained value you've nurtured into place over having excess meaning security. It's a mental game, more than just keeping busy and dieting. It's rewiring a lifetime of bad habits and trying to find stability in something other than a primal desire, just as fundamental as shelter and sex. It's doable, I did it and yo-yo with my unstable depression and life lol, but it takes awareness and effort that emotion based thinkers like my family can't seem to fight through.

I have also noticed that ingredients are modified frequently, so don't assume something will remain the same. Read, read, read!

Erythritol does not represent all sweeteners. Sugar itself should also be considered an artificial sweetener and has its own side effects.

I can even taste the sugar if someone uses a spoon to stir the cup before they make mine. I made the change as an easy way to lose weight while in my 20's. 15 cups a day meant 15 tea spoons of sugar...easy way to lose weight.

I use monk fruit sugar with erythritol in my coffee in the morning. But other than that, I exercise and eat a healthy diet. The problem with the American diet is that it’s easier and quicker to get fast food or make things from a package. It takes more time to cook real food. Most people are over scheduled and don’t have much time. I was obese but lost a lot of weight. I learned how to cook using real food and herbs and spices.

Im not a fan of artificial anything but the reality is the people drinking diet coke is also eating garbage food. You cannot isolate the artificial sweetner largely because unhealthy people use artificial ingredients.

[@jacobdebernardi4385]

I recommend Biolayne's video on this exact study and here's what I took from it, and you touched on it. The body makes some small amount of erithrytol naturally (I didn't know that) but this amount increases if metabolism becomes damaged. This study measured blood levels of erithrytol, but not actual dietary intake which would've been a much more useful metric. Said differently, was the increase of alternative sweeteners the cause for increased heart condtitions or was it merely a sign of an already deteriorated metabolism? For now, artificial sweeteners will stay on my menu specifically to help me meet my calorie deficit goals, at which point I'll plan to ween off of them. The cohort study in PLOS you cited does conclude an increase of cancer risks, but for me the risk isn't large enough to concern me, especially with my lifestyle. Thank you for a well thought out video.

Confounding. People with diabetes, particularly T1, seek out foods with artificial sweetners. So, you are talking about a group with metabolic damage already. My son has T1D, and I'm sure we have lots of stuff in the house with this. However, I've always been suspect of these - as both my sister and I get weird brain stem headaches when we have Nutrasweet. So, I don't doubt the conclusion.

[@foreverealm]

Nutrasweet is evil. My classmate did a semester long research and gave us a 12-minute lecture on it. Half the molecule is wood alcohol, which can cause blindness and death. Sucralose is evil. Monkfruit is your safest healthiest sweetener option. Please watch dr. Sten Ekberg’s vid on sweeteners.
