First seen Apr 01, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study looks at whether drinking a beverage with artificial sweeteners (erythritol or xylitol) changes how blood platelets clump together, which could affect heart attack or stroke risk. Researchers will measure blood and urine levels of these sweeteners and test platelet function in 50 healthy adults. The goal is to understand if these common sugar substitutes might increase cardiovascular risk.
