“In previous studies, we showed that xylitol can enhance the ability of platelets to form clots. We also found that high blood levels of xylitol were linked to cardiovascular events in high risk individuals over a three-year period.”
What Marco Witkowski, MD, PhD has said
“Our long-term results, obtained from the general population, underscore how limited our knowledge of xylitol's cardiovascular safety remains and suggest that further studies are needed, especially as the amount of xylitol in consumer products continues to increase.”
