- Abstract
This letter responds to a commentary on artificial sweeteners by Dr. Tilg in the New England Journal of Medicine. The authors argue that the results presented by bench scientists need re-evaluation due to potential confounding and biases. They critique the studies cited by Dr. Tilg, suggesting that they fail to consider other factors that may contribute to the observed effects. The authors propose that glucose, rather than artificial sweeteners, may be the key contributor to certain health outcomes. They provide data showing positive correlations between erythritol levels and cardiovascular risk factors, suggesting that erythritol may be an epiphenomenon.
