There’s evidence that it’s less healthy than drinking water, not sure about any studies about the long term effects that would consider also the obesity related issues. If you’re obese, manage to use artificial sweeteners to cut down on sugar, lose a bunch of weight doing that, and then drop those too, artificial sweeteners might literally save your life. If you don’t have a weight issue, it’s probably best not to start consuming them out of the blue.

uniquethrowagay@feddit.org 1 week agoIs there any actual evidence that artificial sweeteners are less healthy than sugar? Sugar in drinks contributes significantly to obesity, which in turn significantly increases the risk for a lot of health problems.

It seems like sucralose is not very unhealthy.
However the big name brands like Coke use aspartame which is a carcinogen and should be avoided.
cracks open a can of Coke Zero Beats sugar though.
