After these findings, researchers set out to discover why erythritol may have these effects. They found that exposing human platelets to erythritol in a lab increased sensitivity to clotting signals. When studied in mice, increased levels of erythritol led to faster clot formation and arterial blockage.
Although this has not yet been studied in humans, these results suggest that consuming erythritol can affect platelets and increase blood clot formation.
