Lab Study Raises Concerns That Sugar Substitute Erythritol May Raise Risk Of Stroke In a Nutshell Erythritol, found in many sugar-free drinks, was tested on human brain blood vessel cells in the lab.

Sugar-free products that contain this additive "may not come without negative consequences," warns physiologist Christopher DeSouza.
