Erythritol, a widely used sugar substitute found in many low-carb and sugar-free products, may not be as harmless as once believed. New research from the University of Colorado Boulder reveals that even small amounts of erythritol can harm brain blood vessel cells, promoting constriction, clotting, and inflammation—all of which may raise the risk of stroke.

    Sorry, I meant I buy stand-alone stevia but all the options like Truvia and the store brand variant have erythritol in their ingredients. Which brand do you use?

      I use generic 100% stevia. It is a shame branded ones contain erythritol. You should be able to get them on amazon if you can’t find it in a store.
