Monk fruit is 100-200x sweeter than sugar, so erythritol is needed to make it a 1:1 substitute for recipes. Pretty common with a lot of these 0 calorie sweeteners as most are much sweeter than regular sugar. It literally says "erythritol with monk fruit extract" right on the front, so I don't think they're trying to hide anything. If monk fruit were the one and only ingredient in something like this and with this amount of volume, it would be completely inedible.

I understand but there's issues with Erythritol that involve health issues. Monk fruit sweetener in natural.

Like what? Erythritol occurs naturally in fruits from the fermenting process. It's not made in a lab from chemicals like some other sweeteners.
Now if you're referring to sensitivities from sugar alcohols that someone might have, sure, i'll give you that. But erythritol is absolutely safe to eat unless you're eating ridiculously high amounts of it. But that's the case for just about anything.

It can have adverse effects on people with a sensitive gut, not to mention the literature on metabolic and liver effects. Not saying it isn't safe in small amounts, but generally just better to avoid these sugar alcohols. They are all processed in the liver.
Companies and brands should also be getting the signal that people aren't going to buy products that are made with shortcuts and fillers. It's cheaper for them to dump a bunch of erythritol and market it as some health food. The less people fall for it, the smarter they will have to get about deciding what to produce. If everyone stops buying erythritol-laden sugar substitutes, they will stop adding it.

Monk fruit till this day is the only natural alternative to sugar. And all these companies that make these zero sugar products could use it, but they'd rather use cheap unhealthy alternatives.

Sorry but that's complete and total internet propaganda BS. You might want to go back and read those studies instead of just the headlines. What was actually studied and how they came to those conclusions.
Erythritol occurs naturally in our bodies regardless if we eat it or not. The studies you're referring to has to do with blood erythritol levels and not actual diets of people consuming erythritol. You know what causes high natural erythritol levels in our blood? Metabolic diseases. Who's more likely to have a heart attack or stroke? Someone with or without a metabolic disease? That's the correlation those headlines are drawing.
