Common Sweetener Could Damage Critical Brain Barrier, Risking Stroke : ScienceAlert

First off, I'm glad to see that there are still scientific studies ongoing at US universities. And sincerely hope that they are able to, and do, continue. 

Second, what they found in their study is that eryththritol, which was heralded as a great breakthrough in alternative sweeteners, may actually be (very) bad for brain health. 

I've tried it in a few drinks and thought it tasted weird, and so I've stuck to sugar. But it's interesting to learn more about these chemical compounds that are engineered.
