What’s crazy is that I wasn’t familiar with erythritol, and searched to see what had it as an ingredient. The entire first page of results were almost all the same AI generated cream touting the benefits of erythritol, like they were trying to sell me on it. And no specific foods were listed that had it as an ingredient.
There were a lot of things like “consider the delicious possibilities that erythritol can bring to your table.” Someone is trying to sell it that hard, then that alone tells me I should probably avoid it.
That's the new normal for internet search results, not a concerted effort by big erythritol...
