Xylitol Linked to Heart Attack Risk | Health and Fitness News
Description
New research is sounding the alarm on xylitol, the sugar-free sweetener in candies, drinks, and baked goods — linking higher blood levels to a sharply increased risk of heart attack, stroke, and early death. Studies tracking thousands over years show those with the highest xylitol had nearly 50% more cardiovascular events. While xylitol helps fight cavities, its hidden presence in processed foods makes tracking intake tough. Experts urge caution, especially for those with heart disease risks, suggesting cutting back and focusing on whole foods may be wise until more is known.
