stevia, monkfruit etc are not "artificial", are just different -ose sources. Sugar is C₆H₁₂O₆ the rest are just "impurity", there is no difference between sugar from sugar beet, sugar cane, fructose, ... they are the same C₆H₁₂O₆ + extras. Artificial sweeteners are byproduct of petroleum refining, witch means they do not contain C₆H₁₂O₆ + something but completely different molecules that happen to taste like it for us.
