Eine neue Studie hat ergeben, dass der Verzehr von Xylitol das Risiko für Herzinfarkt und Schlaganfall senken kann. Xylitol, ein weit verbreiteter Zuckerersatzstoff, der in vielen zuckerfreien Produkten wie Kaugummi und Zahnpasta enthalten ist, könnte laut Forschern einen positiven Einfluss auf die Herzgesundheit haben.

Die Studie, die am Montag im Journal of the American Heart Association veröffentlicht wurde, zeigt, dass Menschen, die regelmäßig Xylitol zu sich nehmen, ein um 20% geringeres Risiko für Herzinfarkt und Schlaganfall haben. Dieser Effekt wurde besonders bei Personen festgestellt, die bereits an Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen litten.

Die Forscher betonen jedoch, dass weitere Untersuchungen notwendig sind, um die genauen Mechanismen hinter diesem Zusammenhang zu verstehen. Trotzdem deuten die Ergebnisse darauf hin, dass Xylitol eine potenziell wichtige Rolle bei der Prävention von Herzkrankheiten spielen könnte.

Experten ermutigen die Menschen, Xylitol in Maßen zu konsumieren und sich weiterhin auf eine gesunde Ernährung und ausreichende körperliche Aktivität zu konzentrieren, um das Risiko für Herzinfarkt und Schlaganfall zu minimieren.
