I'm unconvinced. Artificial sweeteners still have the problem that you prime yourself to expect sugar-flavors in everything.

  You're not convinced it decreases the incentive? And having one major problem is better than two.

    Well I'd rather pressure them from both angles: reduce sugar and reduce artificial sweetener usage. Optimally everything could stand to be less sweet as the default. I've been on a campaign of cutting sugar down as much as I can: even in nominally "sweet" things it's incredible how much sugar standard recipes will call for then you can 1/3rd to 1/4 as much and get a superior result.

  i read somewhere that artificial sweeteners cause the body to make you eat more because sweet taste signals sugar incoming and then there is no sugar so the body craves more to make up for that. not sure if thats true. my main concern is that many artificial sweeteners are suspected to cause cancer

    I lost more weight drinking water than drinking coke zero, snd obviously it wasnt because of coke zero calorie. I do think there is an underlying truth to this.
