@Raj152_ To my understanding it is safe in general if used below the safe limit (~35 g per day) as per latest research but it is a sugar alcohol, which has some load on systems which is not good for diabetics, plus has a laxative side effect. https://t.co/Gs8yjOFrqz

What people are saying
This discussion indicates a balanced understanding of the publication by referencing safe intake levels (~35 g/day) and concerns about laxative effects, especially for diabetics. The tone is informational, emphasizing moderation and health considerations, which shows a personal but cautious engagement with the research findings.
The post aligns with the publication's cautious stance on erythritol, supporting its general safety below certain limits while acknowledging potential risks.
The discussion reflects moderate interest, touching on health implications and specific concerns rather than deep technical analysis.
The post shows a basic level of engagement by considering practical aspects like safe consumption limits and effects on diabetics, but lacks detailed critique or extensive discussion.
It mainly contributes a nuanced perspective on safety and side effects, with limited broader influence on policy or widespread awareness.
Abstract in brief
- The European food safety panel reevaluated erythritol (E968) as a food additive, focusing on its safety, absorption, and potential health effects, and considered its exemption from laxative warning labels.
- Erythritol is absorbed in humans, mostly excreted unchanged in urine, and does not cause genetic damage; however, it can cause diarrhea at certain doses, which could disrupt water and electrolyte balance, leading to adverse effects.
- Exposure assessments showed that both children and adolescents could consume erythritol at levels above the safe limit (ADI), especially with high intake, and the evidence did not support exempting erythritol from the laxative warning requirement.
