'Cardiovascular events' is a medical term referring to serious problems affecting the heart and blood vessels, such as heart attacks and strokes. These events can be life-threatening and often result from underlying conditions like blocked arteries. The study on xylitol suggests a worrying correlation between higher levels of the sweetener in the blood and an increased risk of these events.
