    Compare it to sugar while at it. It doesn’t need to be harmless, it needs to be less harmful than sugar.

    And that’s a fairly low bar to cross.

      Sugar is like water and air: it’s fine in reasonable quantities 🙂

      As the saying goes, the dose makes the poison.

      And the same goes for all sweeteners too. In fact, I know for a fact that consuming aspartame in large quantities is harmful, because I used to consume entirely too much of it every day by mistake, and I very much felt the effects when I quit.
