Things like Acesulfame K, Aspartame, Steviol/Stevia extracts, I called them chemical sweeteners where it would be more accurate to call them artifical sweeteners.
It’s entirely anecdotal, but all of these leave a horrendous taste that overpowers the intended flavours in my opinion.
Sucralose is probably the only one that works as intended (massive sweetness to replace sugars at a fraction of the volume)
right but… that’s just a matter of personal taste, why would you tell others to avoid artificial sweeteners? Many people don’t even notice a difference in taste.
no, that’s not what the research showed. The research showed that it barely even increases the risk of cancer if you inject absurd amounts of it into rats.
It’s one of the safest food additives we’ve ever studied.

Well aspartame seems to increase your chances at getting cancer(with high use, supposedly)
