All these articles telling you how totally safe it is to ingest artificial chemical xyz remind me of how companies were telling you it was fine, even healthy, to smoke cigarettes. The degree of arrogance with which these scientists state their truths is confounding.
Meanwhile chronic illnesses and cancer rates are skyrocketing.
I'll pass on the industrial byproducts being used in my food, thanks.

If the US is flat but global is rising pretty easy to explain by (poorer) diets and detection. These scientists don’t know why but that’d be my null hypothesis to beat.
If your diet is good and you are around or below this „threshold“ then yeah no reason for artificial sweeteners, but many people (including me) enjoy sugary products and would like to drink a glass of coke for example with dinner which would limit my sugar intake for that day greatly.
Is this even possible? Can you define industrial byproduct?
Like even if you go to a typical Western grocery store and buy a single apple and then eat it. It was covered in a thin layer of wax to prolong its shelf life. Likewise if you buy a potato it might have trace amounts of industrial produced material in it from industrial farming.
