Erythritol is a sugar alcohol widely used as a noncaloric sweetener in sugar-free products, such as keto-friendly snack bars, energy drinks, and sugar-free chewing gum.
The findings suggest it increases oxidative stress and reduces nitric oxide production in brain blood vessel cells, which may impair blood flow, contributing to a higher risk of vascular events like stroke.

I noticed some time ago that when drinking Pepsi, I started to fart like I was spreading experimental Russian bioweapons
...turns out the normal full-sugar Pepsi had become a half-sugar half-artificial monstrosity because of ... god knows why.
Switched back to full-sugar coke, no more farts.
