Is sweetener bad for you?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Sweeteners have been tested and there are no long term consequences recorded. Some take issue with saccharine due to one study showing benign bladder tumors in mice but there are many alternatives and they do help cut down caloric intake.
