New research shows that the popular sweetener erythritol, often recommended for people with obesity and diabetes, comes with health risks of its own.

      Yep. Erythiol has a molecular weight of 122 g/mol, so 6 mM is the same as 0.732 g/liter.

      It should be noted that the cells were exposed to the full concentration in the drinks, so the concentration they encountered is much higher than it is when it has been diluted by all the water in our bodies after we drink it.
