Recently someone told me that some are really bad for your liver and in large amounts not healthier than large amounts of sugar.

I haven’t had time to look up their sources, but it was a professor at uni who told them. Do you have any insight that I might be lacking?

Now I am not interested in stuff like the bogus aspartam rat studies, those weren’t any good.

I mostly believe that most artificial sweeteners are not very unhealthy and thus miles better than sugars. So drinks or food sweetened with it should be good imo.

    How are you assessing their taste? I wonder how much of it isn’t food science trying to optimize for sweetness or you directly tasting the artificial sweetener rather than in a medium dissolved. Some artificial sugars are much sweeter by volume than sugar and thus a direct tasting might be overwhelming.
