2023 study raises concerns about xylitol's potential harm to cardiovascular health.

New study raises concerns about low-calorie sweetener xylitol's potential to harm cardiovascular health. Xylitol, with zero or minimal calories, was thought to help control weight and prevent weight-related health problems. However, recent findings, including WHO's 2023 warning, suggest potential health risks of non-sugar sweeteners, such as increasing risks of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
