    Weird comment knowing how little we know about artificial sweeteners and it’s long term impact on the body. Actually, quite dangerous comment.

    But you can start here; https://www.health.harvard.edu/heart-health/sugar-substitutes-new-cardiovascular-concerns

    Or here: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40902134/

    Or here; https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10465821/

    Also fun fact about sorbitol; https://source.washu.edu/2025/11/alternative-sweetener-sorbitol-linked-to-liver-disease/

      Not all artificial sweeteners are the same, so it’s borderline meaningless to say we “know so little” about them.

      Hell, aspartame is literally the most studied food additive in the history of the FDA, and has never been shown to have any adverse effects in any reputable study.

        and has never been shown to have any adverse effects in any reputable study.

        Again, dangerous comment. Please actually spend a minute looking around before making such bizzare claims.

        https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8373935/

        https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23097267/

        https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24700203/

        https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35324894/

        https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36638072/

        https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39547074/

        https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41765137/

        There are like 30 other studies showing negative effects in mice and rats.

        EDIT: Accidentally gave one bad study (see comment below), removed it. Rest seem valid.

                Why would ChatGPT even enter into the picture?

                    Why would my comment lead you to believe I was accusing you of using it to “make photos”?

                    Why would you use ChatGPT to fact check?

                    Are you using it to make these comments too?
