There is some debate over the safety of artificial sweeteners. On one hand, sweeteners do not produce acid so do not decay teeth (hence their use in tooth-care products) and often have less calories than regular sucrose. But, seeing as they are basically petrol products, they have the potential to cause cancer, genetic problems and other concerns. This is not completely proved, however there definitely is a concern.
