> In humans, a history of habitual LCS consumption based on food-frequency questionnaires is associated with increased prospective risk for all-cause dementia. Here's a response that might make you feel better after reading that: https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.1161/strokeaha.117.0...

Apart from health issues of sweeteners or sugar. I really hate the taste of every single one of the artificial sweeteners. The aftertaste lingers forever with its weird notes of wet cardboard and a chemical set for schoolchildren (don't ask me how i know). And i always wondered how one could get accustomed this stuff.
When I was in undergrad, a Cog Psych professor told me a story about an undergrad who made a poster for a regional research conference of no real consequence about the correlation between diet soda drinking and some recall task. The study and the conference were more about teaching students about research more than actually finding anything. When he and his student showed up to the conference, a representative from a…
Cause that's my immediate reaction, sounds similar to the cigarette industry in the 60s

I guess it's good that the sugar industry has enough money to fund studies of artificial sweetener and vice versa.
How about developing enough self-control to avoid both products altogether?

Wait, a mysterious man showed up to an impactless meeting to basically embarrass the hell out of an aspiring undergrad research and your immediate reaction wasn't "Oh shit, these people are probably trying to cover something up."

Blaming individuals in these scenarios is always strange to me, people mostly trust that the items they can purchase won't harm them. It's an immense burden to saddle the consumer with endless research of every product they purchase, on top of their usual time needs from work, commute, family.
The state of California has made it abundantly clear that practically everything you can purchase there will harm you.

I think that's a strong reaction. Corporate damage control and prevention of profit loss will look pretty much the same whether they're covering something up or just correcting the record. If there's a threat to profits, an industry and corporation will usually attempt to prevent or attack it regardless of any connection to the truth.
If that phrase isn't triggering your alarm bells, I don't know what to tell you...

Oh okay, you do get it lol.
The thing is though, it doesn't have to be like this. We allow it to be at our own mortal peril, and that isn't even remotely hyperbole.

It surprises me nobody has developed a sugar substitute yet that actually tastes like sugar with no aftertaste. I know nothing about chemical/food engineering but it must be a tough nut to crack.
