The Science-Backed Verdict on Artificial Sweeteners (Marie Forleo)

Self Evidence Health Series: finding the “least bad” sweetener (spoiler: none of them are saints).

Artificial Sweeteners vs Sugar: The Science-Backed Verdict (in 10 Seconds)

This is not medical advice. It’s a blunt look at what the science actually says. Always speak with your own doctor before changing your diet.

If you’ve ever stood in front of the drinks aisle thinking, “Regular Coke or Diet?” — this tiny clip sums up the current research mood: artificial sweeteners are not health foods, but in many cases they are still less damaging than 25 grams of straight sugar in a can.

That doesn’t make aspartame “good”. It just means that in the classic sugar vs artificial sweetener showdown, the research often lands here:

  • Artificial sweeteners (like aspartame): not something to add to your diet on purpose, possible long-term risks, no real nutritional upside.
  • Refined sugar: absolutely proven to drive obesity, tooth decay, insulin resistance, fatty liver, high triglycerides and more when overused.

If you zoom out, the question becomes less “Which one is safe?” and more: “Which one is less bad while I reduce my dependence on sweetness altogether?” That’s exactly what this Self Evidence mini-series is about.


Where Aspartame Fits in Our Sweetener Series

In our deep-dive on aspartame , we break down:

  • what aspartame is chemically,
  • why the WHO now lists it as “possibly carcinogenic,”
  • how much you’d need to drink to hit official safety limits,
  • and why it’s better treated as a temporary crutch, not a permanent lifestyle.

This Short pairs perfectly with that article: the verdict is not “relax, drink all the diet soda you want,” and it’s not “one sip will kill you.” It’s more like:

Artificial sweeteners are tools for transition. Probably better than constant sugar hits. Still not where you want to live forever.
