So, I've been thinking with all of the back and forth on the pros and cons of artificial sweeteners used in diet sodas, it would be nice to perhaps establish one thread where we compile all of the information we have found regarding the dangers (or lack thereof) associated with these chemicals.
Now, I don't intend to create a thread to house arguments about the subject, and unless you are a biochemist or a pharmacologist, I don't think a personal opinion will do anyone any good. Rather, I'd like to put together a list of links that offer up a bit of scientific evidence one way or another, so that we can all make our own educated decisions on the matter.
Basically, I know it is a touchy subject as many people depend on diet sodas to help keep snacking at bay or keep their diet on track, but I personally have seen so much conflicting research on the dangers of artificial sweeteners that I feel it warrants a thread so that we can at least have some information to form our own decisions on.
I'm open to all sorts of input on this, and if you have a link to share on the subject, pleaaaaase go ahead and do so.
