Why cannot they just put erythriol in the title?

Yeah but shit like this makes me not want to read the article at all. I just skim it until I find what the thing is.
Just like some annoying marketing campaigns with ads that you have no fucking idea what they are about (like ā.itās comingā, āsoonā and shit like that) and only find out like a month later when they make a new campaign actually telling you that. I will never engage with that company or buy the product just because I hate ads like that.
I never click on clickbait. I refuse to support anyone who engages in that practice.
Skimming the article is the same as reading it in full - they just want to place their cookies, and clicking the link is enough to do that if you donāt go through all the settings including turning off all the ālegitimate interestā options - and that is often a pain to do.

Youād think theyād list that on their website.

So do I, but it doesnāt turn off the legitimate interest on a lot of sites. I suspect that the cookie corps are working hard to circumvent it.

Our study adds to the evidence suggesting that non-nutritive sweeteners that have generally been purported to be safe, may not come without negative health consequences,ā
No. It adds to research about this sweetener. You canāt generalize beyond that.
Except for the numerous other artificial sweeteners that have been found to also have negative effects. This has been a trend, and I think thatās what they meant by that statement

Their research says nothing about sweeteners that werenāt part of their study.

I mean, this was brain cells directly exposed to it in concentrations far higher than would occur in a human body after metabolism with no secondary carbohydrates that would likely come with eating said food (units you like eating spoonfuls of pure Splenda I suppose).
I think brain cells wouldnāt do well exposed directly to many things, like too much oxygen, either.
So Iād say this study should be taken with a grain of

Correct. However, it āadds toā the evidence provided by other studies

Consentomatic? I love that extension.

Is there a way to view the full paper? Iām curious if they properly isolated for people who are also overweight (the kind of people who would consume this artificial sweetener).

I found this article that mentions how normal consumption levels are far lower than 6mM. https://www.fda.gov/media/182122/download

Yes exactly. This is an interesting finding that warrants more research, but high concentration in a Petri dish does not reflect what happens in the body.

I have a rule of thumb. If experts and doctors recommend pregnant woman to not eat or drink anything, itās probably better to stay away from it.
