I agree with the Robb/Mark reaction to the study; however, it's telling that with the many responses to the erythitol study, it has obviously triggered a nerve, which may be even more telling how many people react to protect the consumption of sweetened food and rail against its criticisms. I've witnessed people who react negatively and dismissively when someone politely declines an offer of dessert, observing that a small amount can hardly be a concern. Something to think about.
