Just want to add this here, artificial sweeteners are a blessing, specially for people with slower metabolisms. Food in the US is loaded with sugars, its nice to have a way to minimize consumption while satisfying cravings. You cannot argue that being obese is better than consuming artificial sweeteners. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspartame_controversy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspartame_controversy
