Subject: And back at the heart disease ranch...
More studies keep pointing to increased instance of heart disease from the ubiquitous and long-globally-used sugar substitute erythritol. Long called and filed as "safe" by global food admin agencies such as the FDA and not linked to cancer. And only 8 times more expensive than table sugar!

Even WhatSugar has taken the step of acknowledging and discussing these recent studies.

The pile of chemicals and "organic" substitutes in our food supply is stunning - and yes, some of it is beneficial (Louis Pasteur, thank you). But no one should be surprised at rising instances of cancer and heart disease. PFAS + benzoate + FDC yellow/red + glyphosate + residual pesticide + fungicide + preservatives + growth hormone = ???

Damn, I loved my caffeine-free zero-sugar ginger ale for a few weeks.
