Sweetener used in foods, beverages linked to strokes, heart attacks – Study

A new study has found a potential link between high levels of xylitol, a common artificial sweetener, and an increased risk of cardiovascular events such as stroke and heart attack. The research, presented by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), analyzed data from 17,710 participants across two long-term studies. Participants with the highest xylitol levels showed a 57% higher risk of major cardiovascular events over six years and an 18% higher risk over 30 years. While the study suggests a possible dose-dependent relationship, researchers emphasized that the findings are observational and do not prove causation. They called for further research into the long-term effects of xylitol consumption.

Bias read (Center): The article presents scientific findings without overt ideological slant. It reports on a medical study conducted by the European Society of Cardiology, focusing on health implications rather than political agendas. The tone remains neutral, citing expert opinions and emphasizing the need for more研究
