Straight up Stevia isn’t too bad. It comes from the leaves of a plant and if anything is often sweeter tasting per volume than sugar. That doesn’t mean people should be drinking soft drinks with it in great volume versus water, but it’s an acceptable substitute IMO to sugar in coffee or the occasional drink and still better than cane sugar. Soft drinks contain plenty of other shit that’s not particularly good for you in addition to the sweeteners too.
Sucralose is nasty stuff, and Splenda is just a brand, with their “sweetener” containing a bit of Sucralose in their chemical cocktail “sugar substitute” in addition to hefty doses of dextrose/maltodexrin as bulking agents.
Little is known about the impacts that ASBs pose on health, especially those used in beverages like DS. As discussed above, some findings have been made about their relation to cardiometabolic implications, but these findings remain controversial.
Why in the fuck y’all linking the studies without reading? Or do you think people around you are also stupid and nobody can actually read what you linked? Do you think we would be intimidating by big words or something. Fuck.

I genuinely don’t understand how anyone can ingest fake sweeteners and not be disgusted, they taste so wrong.

I’m not sure if this includes Stevia but artificial sweeteners have some pretty bad long term effects
