  • sorbitol, a common sugar alcohol used in “low-calorie” foods, can behave much like fructose once inside the body, potentially contributing to liver strain and metabolic dysfunction.

    Sweeteners such as aspartame, found in Equal packets, sucralose (Splenda), and various sugar alcohols are often viewed as better choices than foods containing refined sugar (glucose).

    However, new research is beginning to question that belief. Recent findings show that the sugar alcohol sorbitol may not be as harmless as many assumed.


  • Surprises me how someone who can put themselves at the mercy of nature and a hobby that ‘can’ be danger prone and still be crazy enough to cheap out on this. The amount of people who decry regulation and tbh common sense in this case is astounding. At best it’s their own life at risk. At worse the lives of others on the ground or on onboard.

    I agree general aviation is heavily regulated and unfortunately expensive but that’s due to cases just like this. The pilot will have know there was a chance of risk here. Even a defective bolt can have an impact. It’s the same story as the sub… hmmm the part could be not up to standard but I’ll take a chance because I think it should be ok…it wasn’t. The pilot is lucky to be alive.
