Artificial Sweetener Erythritol's Major Health Risks [clevelandclinic.org]
This was a very large study (over 1000 subjects) and people with high Erythritol usage had twice the heart attack/stroke risk.
If you are young with no issues perhaps its OK. Certainly do not offer a can to anyone with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or others at risk. It stays in your system many days.
rockstar 240mg
Monster 140mg
Ghost 200mg
And bang is correct at 300mg.
And I don't drink redbull but a quick search shows it at 80mg
The fact that I know this off the top of my head probably means I have a issue with energy drinks lol.

I have not read the study personally but saw criticism from reliable sources.

"In general, artificial sweeteners are safe in limited amounts for healthy people, including pregnant people."
"Sugar substitutes also don't raise the level of sugar in the blood."
I'd love to hear why you've decided NOT raising blood sugar is bad for diabetics.
But I know you'll never change your mind since people still believe aspartame causes cancer despite 30+ years of failing to prove that.

It may be possible that the people who are most likely to consume erythritol are already unhealthy and are just trying to mitigate their poor health. For instance, I've known more than one obese person who ate far too much in calories for food but would drink diet sodas, as if that would really save them from eating too much food. Yeah, it's better than if they had been drinking high-fructose-corn-syrup-based soda, but the diet soda wasn't a fix, and now it might skew the statistics incorrectly against erythritol if those obese people die of a heart attack and have erythritol in their systems.

Consider mixing your own... tea and fruit juice ought to do it, with a caffeine pill.

Also as a practicing physician, the literature behind the health effects of artificial sweeteners is pretty complex. However if there are negative affects of artificial sweeteners, the facts are very small. It's simply not anything to worry about. If someone wants to skip artificial sweeteners, fine with me. However it's pretty clear that artificially sweetened beverages are much healthier than sugar laden beverages.

Looking at reliable study reviews on Harvard, Mayo Clinic, and FDA etc., there's no support for such a conclusion that it's been found to cause harm.
