    Seems like you have not considered the #1 reason to stay away from fake sugar, which is of course that it tastes terrible.

      Fair - I know it tastes awful to some people. I personally don’t mind it, and I actually prefer it in a few things like sodas.

      Using non-caloric sweeteners are a “tweak” that can result in some positive health changes - drop a bit of weight, improve A1C a bit, etc. It’s certainly not the only tweak that can used, though (e.g. increasing your daily step count or incorporating more fruits and veggies).
