I think recommendations like this fail to recognize “what’s the alternative?” For many, artificial sweeteners make it possible to lose weight, something notoriously difficult. Without them, the alternative is to just maintain an unhealthy weight or even gain. So the WHO really should be asking itself “do we recommend against artificial sweeteners, even though it could increase obesity?”

Both cravings for sugar and tolerance for it are somewhat conditioned by your lifestyle. People used to drinking sweetened coffee proclaim black coffee to be intolerably bitter. From my POV (never sweetening any beverages), sweetened coffee is intolerably sweet and does not taste like coffee anymore.
