“Unless you are diabetic, lay off artificial sweetener...”

All “artificial sweeteners” are bad for everyone. If diabetics want sweet w/o sugar, stevia should be used.

Diet cola’s promote obesity. Many studies show this. And the level of consumption for those kids and adults adicted to diet soft drinks generally exceed the level of consumption used by the scientists in this study.

I truly believe that you are in no position to dictate to anyone suffering of DM which sweetener to use or not to use. As far as diet sodas promoting obesity it's not linked to the artificial sweetener but to the tendency and bad habit forming from drinking sweet drinks (diet or otherwise) and extending the habit to bad foods.
