The first 3 were the top 3, the last one was #6. I do not use Google as my preferred search engine btw edit: and yes I would say those links are pretty consistent with the science being unsettled

Top responses I get for a simple search for “are artificial sweeteners unhealthy” 1. https://health.clevelandclinic.org/whats-worse-sugar-or-artificial-sweetener This points out some of the theories people say they’re bad, but doesn’t really have data to back it up. And at least admits it doesn’t, as people often point to studies saying things like “artificial sweeteners are ASSOCIATED with some negative health outcomes,” but good chance that’s more likely because people that eat/drink artificial sweeteners probably eat a lot of other crap too. A doctor quoted in this article also makes the claim that artificial sweeteners lead to overeating. This has not been proven, and in fact numerous studies show consuming artificial sweeteners IN PLACE OF sugar actually results in weight loss (some studies even show weight loss compared to water). 2. https://www.health.com/best-and-worst-artificial-sweeteners-7974926 quote: Artificial sweeteners can be a healthy way to add sweetness without sugar, but not all sugar substitutes are created equal. Some artificial sweeteners offer sweetness without introducing unwanted or potentially unhealthy chemicals or additives into your diet. Still, some studies link artificial sweeteners to an increased risk of health conditions like diabetes and heart disease.12 However, research is mixed, and some evidence points to the potential benefits, even for people at risk of these conditions. For example, people with diabetes might use artificial sweeteners to help manage their blood sugars. Others might use them for dental health or weight loss. Still, some nonnutritive substitutes are better than others.3 I don’t know if I’d go as far as saying they’re “healthy,” but I feel pretty confident in saying the jury is still out on them being “unhealthy.” 3. https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/artificial-sweeteners/art-20046936 In general, artificial sweeteners are safe in limited amounts for healthy people, including pregnant people. But limit or cut out sugar substitutes: If you're living with a rare genetic disease called phenylketonuria. Foods and drinks with aspartame can lead to serious health problems. If you have a bowel disease. Using sugar substitutes might make your symptoms flare up Health benefits linked to sugar substitutes If you replace added sugar with sugar substitutes, it could lower your risk of getting tooth decay and cavities. Sugar substitutes also don't raise the level of sugar in the blood. For adults and children with overweight or obesity, sugar substitutes also might help manage weight in the short term. That's because sugar substitutes often are low in calories or have no calories. But it's not clear whether sugar substitutes can help people manage their weight over the long term. Over time, it's most important to eat a healthy diet and get exercise. Health concerns linked to sugar substitutes Health agencies have clarified that sugar substitutes do not cause serious health problems. Sugar substitutes also are not linked to a higher risk of cancer in people. Studies dating back to the 1970s linked the artificial sweetener saccharin to bladder cancer in rats. Since then, research has shown that those findings don't apply to people. Some research on long-term, daily use of artificial sweeteners suggests a link to a higher risk of stroke, heart disease and death overall. But other things people do, or healthy habits that people don't do, may be the cause of the higher risk. Other research is looking at long-term use of sugar substitutes and the gut. Many focus on how the gut and brain communicate. Researchers are checking to see if sugar substitutes affect cravings for sweets, the way people feel hunger and how the body manages blood sugar. Sugar alcohols, stevia and luo han guo can cause bloating, gas and diarrhea. The amount of sugar alcohol that causes these symptoms varies from person to person. In general, it is safest to take in small amounts of sugar substitutes. And it's best to use sugar substitutes for a short time, or just every once in a while. So try to cut back if you use them a few times a day. The bottom line Artificial sweeteners can be a short-term way to help some people lessen their use of sugar and lose or manage weight. In general, sugar substitutes are safe for healthy adults. But be aware of how sugar substitutes affect your food and drink choices. These ingredients may get your tastebuds used to sweetness. And that can make drinking enough water a challenge. Mayo Clinic is pretty reputable, no? They don’t seem to agree that “artificial sweeteners are bad, it’s common sense.” This was also one of the top results and I thought provided a good summary of what my current understanding is, with references: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/artificial-sweeteners-good-or-bad#bottom-line Overall, the use of artificial sweeteners poses few risks and may even have benefits for weight loss, blood sugar management, and dental health. These sweeteners are especially beneficial if you use them to decrease the amount of added sugar in your diet. That said, the likelihood of negative effects can vary by individual and depend on the type of artificial sweetener consumed. Some people may feel bad or experience negative effects after consuming artificial sweeteners, even though they are safe and well tolerated by most people.

By “excluded,” I meant “banned.” I’m still not sure if the science on artificial sweeteners is really settled. Again, if you have a study or two you’d like to share I’d love to read them.

For example, going back to the Diet Soda debate, it looks like Texas is including artificial sweeteners in its items that will be excluded.

Good idea, but who is deciding what’s “healthy”?

Chances Kyle Dake drinks raw milk? I’m going 100% (although at least he’s healthy)

Ok, but I don’t see that she complained about the ad

So a 2024 episode of South Park was complaining about a commercial from 2025? Interesting. Your AI needs work.

I don’t think she did, she just released a parody of it. I’ve said this before, but your AI needs work.

Doja Cat is a singer. Marc Lamont Hill is on BET

it’s more than 0.1%. I’d estimate about 15% (compared to like 90% of the right complaining about that 15%). The most notable people I could find that complained about it, and I went searching for it, were Doja Cat, and Marc Lamont Hill.

Probably Homeland

This seems harsh on Parco. He was 20-2 going into NCAA’s and got legitimately injured at NCAA’s.

One of those was 2021 right?

The rule in question would be the “5 in 4 rule,” that once you enroll, you have 5 years to complete 4 years of eligibility (with exceptions for medical and Olympic redshirts). Other than medical/Olympic redshirts and the 2021 season, has an Ivy/Cornell guy ever unenrolled for more than 1 year after the initial grayshirt year?

Meh, are many people still really paying attention to her? If we’re speculating, I’d still tend to believe Beau. But Syd tying Beau’s accusations in with rape allegations, could be why other wrestlers didn’t want to speak out, since they’d have no way of knowing if those more serious allegations are true outside of an admission.

I mean, that doesn’t necessarily mean it wasn’t true. And doesn’t mean it was either.

Flo’s tracker still has him as Ohio State, is that definitely not happening?

Does the Kikinou dad still compete? If not, that dude needs to coach somewhere

Crazy ending in Ruiz match against Ukraine. He was up 5-4 with less than 10 seconds to go, Ukraine was in on a shot then they have a weird exchange that’s first scored as 2 Ukraine putting Ukraine up 6-5. US challenges and they score it 2-2 so Ruiz wins 7-6.

Takedown, 5-2 Hamiti. Another TD, 7-2. I think an exposure, 9-2. Takedown Switzerland, 9-4. And that’s how it ends. Switzerland guy did have a Russian-sounding name.

Stepout, 3-2 Hamiti

Long challenge and they give Switzerland 2, 2-2
