Artificial sweeteners won't harm you...that's just more conspiracy garbage from pseudo-science sources that believe anything that is 'artificial' is evil. These are the same non-scientists that think synthesized vitamin C is different than 'natural' vitamin C...total BS, the molecule is identical whether it was synthesized in an orange or in a test tube since it was created using the same chemical synthesis process.

Artificial sweeteners are just different molecules that bind with the 'sweet' receptors on the tongue and give the sensation of being 'sweet' without actually being sugar. They just don't have calories like sugar does. That mean that the body does not absorb them or use them in other ways for fuel in metabolism like it does with sugar.
