Episode 266: Erythritol Study with Drs. Adrian Soto Mota and Nick Norwitz

Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD Podcast.

Nick Norwitz completed a PhD in neuro-metabolism at Oxford University in just two years and is now pursuing on MD at Harvard University. His research expertise is ketosis and brain aging; however, he has published scientific papers on topics ranging from neuroscience to heart disease to gastrointestinal health to genetics to bone health to diabetes.

Dr. Adrian Soto Mota is an MD in internal medicine. He is currently a DPhil graduate student at the Departement of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics of the University of Oxford. His main area of interest is exogenous ketone metabolism in diabetic patients.

In this conversation, Drs. Tro, Brian, Nick, and Adrian talk about the findings and methods of a recent study on the effects of erythritol on human health, thinking strategically and critically about how/when/if artificial sweeteners can be safely included in your diet, what exactly erythritol is and how it is made, and which sweeteners (if any) Drs. Nick and Adrian use personally.
