I've completely eliminated sugar from my diet. People are genuinely confused on how I do it. (the answer: just don't eat it.) But honestly, your sense of sweetness adjusts to it. Things with sugar in it are foul, as in I can't even eat them (for example, A1 steak sauce or spaghetti sauce).
The other thing that the article doesn't mention is that some of the alternative sweeteners are terrible for your gut biome, and an unhealthy gut biome is already linked to obesity.
