I've never been able to figure out why, of all the things we eat and do that have real risk that's is demonstrable, well-known, warned against, that the non-caloric sweetener things, which really hasn't garnered much suspicion for most of them, causes such hand wringing.
You'll find the same people posting "warnings" over sweeteners who still smoke, don't wear safety belts, drive recklessly, drink and drive, text and drive and so on. In their minds (some of them anyway), sweeteners seem to pose the biggest danger.
*shrug*
It's human nature. Frankly, I think honey, sugar, agave are more cancer causing and deadly than most artificial sweeteners (provided you don't have an allergy to the sweetener). We're starting to get a pretty good idea of what fructose does to our bodies over a lifetime and it isn't pretty at all.
