Add on some Chlorine molecules to make your sucrose more like an insecticide.
It's not worth the risk to use 'artificial' stuff, unless it's medically necessary..............
Food Ping!...................
I totally avoid fake “sugar”.
stick with stevia.
My insulin resistance isn’t weight related.
I like sucralose but have no illusions that I can use sugar substitutes and eat carbs too. It’s the people who do that who have real weight problems.
Rarely enough. :-)
Raw sugar
Honey.
Very few processed anything.

Never trust anything artificial when natural is available.
For what it may be worth...
I have regarded all forms of artificial sweeteners as bad, and have avoided cane sugar — “Coke”, donutz, candy — as much as possible.
I have never avoided sugar in oranges or other fruits.
(Shame — I love a painfully cold Coke or anything with dark chocolate... But: so be it.)
I refuse to provide or serve “diet” soda when people ask. They think I’m a pain in the butt cranky pants — but when they bitch I refuse to serve what I truly believe is slow poison; should I do differently, I ask them? Want a nice glass of cold poison? They usually drop it at that point.
I knew a guy who was well over 350 pounds who enjoyed twice a day as his break-snack, two jelly donuts and a diet Pepsi.
He’s dead now at age 41.
I use stevia. Grow a big patch of it in my garden.
Never was a big sugar addict, except dark brown sugar on oatmeal.
Last little bit is a dash of sugar. Makes it taste like the entire thing was made with sugar.
Everywhere I can cut out something to keep my clothes from shrinking gets used.

For the past several years I’ve only used stevia, the only safe one.
To sweeten or not to sweeten, that is the question…🤔

I didn’t notice in the article what the daily dosage was. Unless “sachets” is some scientific measurement I’m not aware of.
Remember the hit on Cyclamates in the 60’s? Rats given the equivalent of 50 gallons of soda per day.
Some will go into denial, others dismissive, while some will get downright angry.
This is not new.
Accept that drinking flavored water (aside from tea & coffee) arose strictly from advertising designed to change consumption and, consequently, buying habits.
Frankly, when I went cold turkey I felt quite stupid (normal reaction for all).
“Recent research has found that people who drink diet soda sweetened with aspartame are twice as likely to be obese as those who do not. “
This is because the obese are trying to reduce their calorie intake and choose diet over regular.
And because they use diet as a treat or dessert rather than a calorie laden one.
The no sugar drinks aren’t making you fat. The laws of physics still apply.
