It's probably worth mentioning that they also cause weight gain (vs a subjectively equivalent amount of sugar). Some are psychoactive and interfere with e.g., seizure drugs. Some cause migraine headaches in a subset of the population.

If it weren't for diabetics, I'd argue they all should be summarily banned (even, and especially, the "natural" / "organic" sugar alternatives, since those are mostly being produced in labs and are just enabling deceptive labeling).
