    @Gazumi I had a dispiriting conversation with someone recently where they (elderly, obese) said that they were going to stop using artificial sweeteners because they’d seen the headline about the WHO not recommending them because of possible links to diabetes and heart issues.

    This person had decided to switch back to using actual sugar and HFCS to avoid these risks.

    Nothing I said (or tried to provide) would change their mind because I am not a headline.
