A large-scale study involving over 17,000 people found that high blood levels of xylitol, a common artificial sweetener used in gum, mint candies, and other products, were associated with a higher risk of heart attack, stroke, and death. The risk was 57% higher over six years and 18% higher over 30 years. The study suggests a dose-dependent relationship, meaning the higher the xylitol levels, the higher the cardiovascular event rate. This association was independent of other factors such as age, sex, body mass index, hypertension, diabetes, and lipid levels.
