>medical consensus is that it absolutely does

If it's actually "medical consensus", you'd find government agencies or professional organizations calling for bans, at least making announcements that it's harmful.

edit:

in response to OP's edit, I'm still not satisfied given that the statement is to call for its GRAS status to be reevaluated, when I specifically mentioned "announcements that it's harmful". At best that's "medical consensus" for "GRAS status should be reevaluated", not "medical consensus is that it absolutely [harmful]".

Not the person you were replying to but I do not have that level of confidence in governing agencies. Money corrupts. There are still a myriad of dangerous substances in use today that are known to be harmful.

As a side note if I consume more than 15G of erythritol I will start to see rainbows. I learned that by mistake of consuming a coconut drink that had 15G which seems like a lot to me. I reproduced it multiple times to confirm. I am not alone, found others that experience the same things.
