Sept. 8, 2022 -- Millions of people consume artificial sweeteners in diet soda and other products every day, hoping to save calories from sugar. But the safety of the sweeteners has long been debated. And now a large, new study in France suggests a higher risk of heart disease is connected to them.
"These results, in line with the latest WHO report published this year, do not support the use of sweeteners as a safe alternative to sugar," said INSERM's Mathilde Touvier, who coordinated the study.
