Drinks on the market lead to stroke and heart attack, here are what they are

The culprit is erythritol, a popular low-calorie sweetener that is used in the drink instead of regular sugar.

The fact is that erythritol can increase platelet activity, which creates conditions for blood clots to form. This increases the likelihood of cardiovascular events.

Regular consumption of these drinks is associated with a 44% higher risk of heart attack or stroke, compared to 22% in people who rarely drink cola or have never consumed it.

That is why it is important not to abuse these carbonated drinks and to take into account the individual risks for each person.
