Also, keep in mind that no evidence exists to suggest that using artificial sweeteners helps anyone lose weight. So why use them – especially if safety concerns exist?

I prefer sugar free soda because it does not leave a sugar coat on my teeth.

Don’t worry, consuming meat injected with mRNA vaccines totally fixes it

Notes from Dr. Weil:

Aspartame: Can a Little Bit Hurt?
For every one else, although available evidence suggests that occasional use of aspartame (and all the rest) presents no great risk, I would however recommend following the precautionary principle. In other words, don’t use it.

Sucralose: A Safer Sweetener?
Because it is made from sugar, it seems safe at this time. However, bear in mind that in terms of safety, most sweeteners have looked good when they were introduced only to later prove detrimental to health. Whether they truly serve the purpose for which they’re intended, is another story.

How Bad Are Artificial Sweeteners?
Since artificially sweetened foods and drinks haven’t made a dent in our national obesity epidemic and seem to be doing more harm than good, I believe you’re better off avoiding them.

Non-Sugar Sweeteners And Your Health
https://www.drweil.com/blog/bulletins/non-sugar-sweeteners-and-your-health/
As far as weight is concerned, the differences between those who consumed non-sugar sweeteners and those who didn’t were negligible. The researchers called for long-term studies to determine whether or not non-sugar sweeteners are a safe and effective alternative to standard sugar.

My take? These new findings support the results of earlier studies showing that artificial sweeteners don’t lead to weight loss. Some evidence has actually linked intake of these sweeteners with higher risks of weight gain, obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease and other health problems. Artificially sweetened foods and drinks haven’t made a dent in our national obesity epidemic and seem to be doing more harm than good. I continue to advise that you’re better off avoiding them.

It doesn't spike my blood glucose.

” So why use them “

Because I am diabetic and like a little sweetener in my coffee.

As though table sugar and HFCS have no safety concerns.

And aspartame (have used for decades with no ill effects) definitely doesn’t rot my teeth.
