COSETTE Trial Summary

This trial will test whether a drink containing the artificial sweeteners erythritol or xylitol alters in vitro platelet aggregation.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who can consent to participate. It's not suitable for those with a history of bariatric surgery, pregnant individuals, people on anti-platelet meds recently, anyone with an active infection or recent antibiotics use, diabetics, and those with chronic gastrointestinal disorders or significant chronic illness.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if drinks containing artificial sweeteners (erythritol or xylitol) affect platelet aggregation—a factor in cardiovascular risk. Participants will consume beverages with different amounts of these sweeteners to see how they impact blood sugar alcohol levels and platelet activity.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While the trial itself may not have direct side effects from the interventions since it involves common food additives at varying doses, potential indirect effects could include digestive discomfort due to the body's response to high amounts of sugar alcohols.
