Dr. Livengood had a really good response to this, if anyone cares to dig in.

 

A couple of points I have issue with...

 

The study was done among people who already had other health conditions; diabetes, heart disease, etc.  It may be that erythritol was found in individuals' blood, but what else was going on there?  Were they obese, overeating carbs, eating multiple times a day, etc.?  Who's to say they wouldn't have had a blood clot or heart attack anyway?   NOWHERE does the study conclude that erythritol, which is a natural sweetener BTW, CAUSED any of the problems these people experienced.  Furthermore, the test subjects were given 30 grams of erythritol in a single drink.  NOBODY takes that much at one time. 

 

Dr. Livengood on Erythritol  


He calls himself "A Doctor of Natural Medicine." What is that? I could not find anything on his site @JeanLouiseFinch .


It means he believes and practices finding natural alternatives through foods and lifestyle when possible rather than relying on prescription as a first resort. 


Thank you @JeanLouiseFinch .
