I have no idea whether dietary erythritol is good or bad or neutral but I'll take a pretty educated guess and say your risk of a cardiovascular event isn't going to increase based on this quest bar. Though if I was picking a product like this, I'd want a far higher protein amount.
1. Erythritol is created by your own body. This is a pretty important fact to be aware of.
2. Their findings don't differentiate between endogenous and dietary erythritol. Do you see the problem here?
3. According to them, the participants were enrolled before erythritol became a major food additive.
4. Erythritol levels were still high a day after dietary consumption. From endogenous erythritol!
This isn't difficult to comprehend. The study doesn't show anything to link dietary erythritol to cardiovascular disease. It doesn't even show causality between circulating erythritol and disease.
I don't know whether or not erythritol is bad for you, but this paper doesn't demonstrate it.
At this point the research is pretty clear that exercise and energy balance in diet are the things that people need to keep in mind for longevity. Avoiding erythritol in a quest bar is likely far down the checklist of things to worry about when it comes to good health.
Your anecdotal story doesn't actually show anything. Are you telling me you never ate a single artificial sweetener, then ate some and had heart related episodes, then stopped and they went away?

I'm just saying, people should be able to read a research paper before spewing out nonsense about them.

Meanwhile, dozens of studies have shown it to be safe.
I'll stick with it.
Also, one of those goes in my oatmeal every day. The other does not. Guess which one.
You failed at one of these steps

Next, the team wanted to better understand how erythritol might increase these health risks. So, they exposed human platelets, which control blood clotting, to erythritol. Doing so increased the platelets' sensitivity to blood clotting signals. Increasing blood erythritol levels also sped up blood clot formation and artery blockage in mice.
The scientists next asked how diet affects erythritol levels in people. To find out, they measured blood erythritol levels in eight healthy volunteers after drinking a beverage sweetened with erythritol. Blood erythritol levels increased 1,000-fold and remained substantially elevated for several days. For at least two days, the erythritol levels grew more than high enough to trigger changes in platelet function.
These results suggest that consuming erythritol can increase blood clot formation. This, in turn, could increase the risk of heart attack or stroke. Given the prevalence of erythritol in artificially sweetened foods, further safety studies of the health risks of erythritol are warranted.
At a Glance. Higher blood levels of the artificial sweetener erythritol were associated with increased risk of heart attack and stroke. The results highlight the need for further study of erythritol's long-term risks for cardiovascular health
