Artificial Sweeteners...

Do you think those artificial sweeteners can have a bad effect on your body over time. All of these low-carb desserts seem to have splenda, or some other alternative in them. Is this safe?

There have been studies that artifical sweeteners were linked to lupus (I think) and other diseases. My mom knows more about it. I don't know if it is true but I know someone who only uses artificial sweetners and has for many many years. She was just diagnosed with lupus. I try to use Stevia instead of the artificial sweetners whenever possible. You can find it in health food stores. It is an extract from a plant that is very very sweet. It's a healthy alternative although you have to get used to the taste.
