5. The study also found effects with healthy people

Finally, in a prospective pilot intervention study (NCT04731363), erythritol ingestion in healthy volunteers (n = 8) induced marked and sustained (>2 d) increases in plasma erythritol levels well above thresholds associated with heightened platelet reactivity and thrombosis potential in in vitro and in vivo studies. Our findings reveal that erythritol is both associated with incident MACE risk and fosters enhanced thrombosis. Studies assessing the long-term safety of erythritol are warranted.

Basically what the study is theorizing is erythritol causes clotting and thrombosis and you don't need to have a heart condition for thrombosis to kill you. Exactly what that risk is the study doesn't answer.
