Comment on Eating Foods with Xylitol Can Be a Risk to Your Heartparent

Comments

They kind of do:

In studies performed by Dr Hazen’s team, healthy volunteers were given a drink sweetened with 30 grams of xylitol. That’s similar to the amount found in a single scoop of keto-friendly ice cream or several cookies marketed for people with diabetes.
In every volunteer studied, platelets were significantly more prone to clot after consuming xylitol.

What size scoop is that? A normal one has like 70g, that would be unbearably sweet.
