Regardless of chemistry, toxicity, or biology, I consider it morally wrong to lie to myself. Sweeteners are lies. They are lies to yourself about what you are eating. Scary effective lab-synthesized coctails or refined natural extracts, it's all LIES. If I want sweet, I eat sugar. If sugar is bad, then by applying a bit of self-discipline I just don't buy it. People are always looking for the easy way out. Cheap, industrially manufactured lies so you don't have to face the truth: Your self-discipline sucks. Put some effort into it and you'll not only stop lying to yourself and improve your diet, you'll also become a better human being.

  But... He is “lying” to his body by adding sugar to food in the first place

    Sugar is a valid source of nutrition at the very least. It does both stimulate the sweet taste buds, prompting body to expect additional energy and it provides the energy.

That’s not going to work. Sugar is highly addictive and, as you can see by this obese world, just shouting at people to have better discipline doesn’t do much.
