Have you read the abstract? I'm a physician with a BS in human nutrition, and at first glance I find it hard to consider anything about that abstract a "slam dunk" for mice and monkeys, far less for humans.

I'm very open to human data that aspartame is bad for humans in reasonable amounts, if you have any, but I haven't seen it.

I'm looking to avoid erythritol these days though.

I think you misread the comment you are replying to. They are not saying that the abstract is a slam dunk.

Yes, I misread -- thank you. I thought it began with "how is this" and not "how is there".

Why? My loose sense of the current thinking on this is that erythritol is one of the "safer" alternatives.

Several studies posted to HN in the last year or so regarding increased risk of blood clots in humans at blood levels similar to those seen at usual amounts of consumption.
