Yes, I have heard shocking things about artificial sweeteners, never use them and never will
I'm critical of artificial sweeteners from a behavioral point of view too. They're training your body and your cravings to do the wrong thing. It's better to condition yourself to enjoy healthy foods than to eat a bunch of chemical substitutes.
Oops, somebody got me started. I know people who drink a dozen soft drinks per day, or more.
