    Oh and I also have been using artificial sweeteners DAILY for over 25+ years. I should be obese by now if the "hypothesis" is correct.

    Correlation doesn't actually equal causation. That should be the take away.

    And by that reasoning, if smoking causes lung cancer, my grandfather (see note directly above) should have had lung cancer. Therefore smoking does not cause lung cancer.
    Problem is smoking HAS been proven to cause lung cancer. That CAN'T be said about artificial sweeteners. Better yet there are a few cancer organizations and not one of them attributes death by artificial sweeteners.

    Actually no, they don't. Check diabetes.org for starters.

    Until recently, the general belief was that non-nutritive sweeteners (NNSs) were healthy sugar substitutes because they provide sweet taste without calories or glycemic effects. However, data from several epidemiological studies have found that consumption of NNSs, mainly in diet sodas, is associated with increased risk to develop obesity, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes. The main purpose of this article is to review recent scientific evidence supporting potential mechanisms that explain how "metabolically inactive" NNSs, which have few, if any, calories, might promote metabolic dysregulation. Three potential mechanisms, which are not mutually exclusive, are presented: 1) NNSs interfere with learned responses that contribute to control glucose and energy homeostasis, 2) NNSs interfere with gut microbiota and induce glucose intolerance, and 3) NNSs interact with sweet-taste receptors expressed throughout the digestive system that play a role in glucose absorption and trigger insulin secretion. In addition, recent findings from our laboratory showing an association between individual taste sensitivity to detect sucralose and sucralose's acute effects on metabolic response to an oral glucose load are reported. Taken as a whole, data support the notion that NNSs have metabolic effects. More research is needed to elucidate the mechanisms by which NNSs may drive metabolic dysregulation and better understand potential effects of these commonly used food additives.

    Metabolic syndrome is another name for impaired insulin response, hence my earlier post.


    Better tell that to the ADA then. Because diet drinks are an alternative for diabetics.
    And impaired insulin response may be a SYMPTOM of metabolic syndrome. One can have metabolic syndrome and have normal insulin response.
