Biggest side effect is not not adding calories to your diet. We have been consuming artificial sweeteners for decades. Pretty sure they are a lot safer than being obese.

That's like saying it's safer to be obese than use meth, so being obese is OK.

If you want sugar in your drink, that is fine. Just don't push your bullshit about artificial sweetener being poison. Last time I checked, half the population isn't dropping dead from diet coke.
