As a type 1 diabetic for 30 years I rely on articial sweeteners. What's good about cole slaw without a little bit of sweetness? What about hone made salad dressings without some sweetness? Ditto most anything home cooked with sugar in the recipe? Sparkingly mineral water has some sweetness! What's in it that makes it sweet? Granted Americans are addicted to sugar. Remove it from your diet and you will eventually stop craving it. Scandinavians and even Canadians eat less sugar, but this is another case of the WHO and Biden lawmakers in the US making a statement before having a practical change. "Eat Less Sugar: ELS"... sure, that will work. Better make it law!
Although the presentation is misleading (reviewing in BMJ is made by US lawyers https://twitter.com/daniel_corcos/status/1659546141644472320 ), it’s clear from the data that all cause mortality is increased with artificially sweetened beverages as compared to plain water.
