Erythritol was safe from everything we knew until it wasn’t.

Sorbitol was safe … you see the problem?

I’m guessing a lot of the keto fad sugars will end up there.

They both are still safe in expected doses for majority of people (roughly 90%), and even for those 10% with sensitivity the main health concerns are temporarily gastrointestinal problems like flatulence & bloating - more of a nuance than actual health danger...

It’s actually not clear at all that erythritol is safe for anyone. That will likely be determined over the next few years but the persistence isn’t great for the use as an artificial primary sweetener vs the small amounts found in fruits:

Also, I was thinking of sucralose, not sorbitol:

Technically, you can argue that sucralose-6-acetate is a manufacturing byproduct that is supposed to be totally removed however the testing says it is no, at least for some brands - Likely direct carcinogen.
