The actual paper is far less impressive than the headlines. Erythritol is created by your own body through one of the pathways in which we metabolize glucose. Unless you're collecting data on circulating erythritol, and these investigators did not, then there is no way of knowing if dietary erythritol is increasing cardiovascular risk. Bottom line is that causality isn't demonstrated even remotely based on this study.

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.
What I posted comes directly from their own paper.
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?
Honestly these are my favorite, and I've had prob every quest flavor. The caramel hero ones are good too.

I noticed that Erythritol was on the label. It's a hard pass for me, but in case others are interested in the newest data for this sweetener.

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

I eat a TON of Quest Bars and this is a flavor I've wanted to try but always seems to be out of stock on Vitamin Shoppe (they seem to have the best prices, though the old days of piling on coupons atop B1G1 have gone). Wouldn't be surprised to see them discontinue them along with other stuff they have been recently without notice. Target stopped selling their pizzas and when you ask them about it, they just say "Check our website to buy them."

Much better off having a scoop of protein powder instead of this. High in saturated fat. 4th ingredient is a seed oil. I'd steer clear of this.
Good for when you're in a pinch or out and about, don't have protein powder readily available

Thanks for pointing that out. Erythritol will kill you
Cinnamon is a known carcinogen.

It's more likely to kill you than erythritol.

I'm think this brand makes me very bloated. I have 3 boxes left, and I'm cutting out processed protein bars.

They have huge amounts of fiber in them. I think they make everyone bloated.

These bars normally go for $3 each at my local grocery store, so this is a great deal for me!

I would trust world renowned Cardiologists over random folks on Slickdeals for health information. I read multiple articles published and these Cardiologists weren't even looking to warn against erythritol - but when they stumbled across the findings, saying they were alarmed was an understatement. Personally I had issues with my heart randomly racing for no apparent reason. I completely got off Splenda and anything using erythritol (changed to raw Stevia) and it's been 2 weeks and zero heart related episodes. I can't say for sure it's related, but does correlate with some of the things mentioned in their study findings.

Thanks "doctor". You are much more likely to consume erythritol products daily (Splenda etc) than you would the occasional cinnamon. I'll take my chances with a dash of cinnamon once a month.

Wish this deal was for any of the other Hero flavors except Blueberry Cobbler.

The prices on some flavors have gotten so high.
Agree. I think the Hero chocolate caramel pecan and the chocolate PB are the best tasting out of all Quest bars. But I rarely see a deal on those.
