I agree. No one should touch aspartame, sucralose, or any of them. Xylitol or stevia if you are desperate for something sickly sweet anyway. Fake sugars do not help you. You are lied to if you think it helps for weight loss, it doesn’t. It keeps your craving for sugary taste intact. It doesn’t help against diabetes either because sugary tastes mess with the pancreas too, and the side effects are as bad as diabetes.
Healthiest choice: learn to drink drinks without sweetness.
Next healthiest, add natural sweetness to your drinks: fruit juice sweetened bubbly water, or a dairy in your coffee or tea. Get used to a lot less sweetness.
I quit sodas and now drink Perrier, it’s got the right amount of carbonation for me.
