Sweetener in gum and jam linked to cardiovascular risks

A large study presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress links high blood levels of xylitol, a sweetener used in many foods and oral care products, to an increased risk of strokes, heart attacks, and death. The research found that individuals with higher xylitol levels were more likely to experience major cardiovascular events over six and thirty-year periods, regardless of other health factors. Experts suggest further studies are needed to understand the long-term cardiovascular effects of xylitol, which is widely added to processed foods and beverages.
