Artificial sweetener may raise heart risk
A new study presented at the ESC Cardiology Congress links higher blood levels of xylitol, an artificial sweetener, with increased risks of cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke. The research followed over 17,700 participants from Canada and Britain over six to 30 years, showing a dose-dependent relationship between xylitol levels and adverse heart outcomes. The findings suggest potential health risks associated with artificial sweeteners, though further research is needed to establish causality.
