Declines in Plasma Erythritol and Improvements in Cardiovascular Risk and Atherogenic Lipid Profiles: A 2-Year Randomized Weight-Loss Dietary Intervention Trial.
BACKGROUND High circulating levels of sugar alcohols (polyols) have recently been linked to increased risks of cardiovascular events. OBJECTIVES We investigated whether temporal changes in plasma levels of erythritol and other isomeric polyols (arabitol/xylitol and mannitol/sorbitol) in response to weight-loss dietar...
