The authors said they are not recommending any changes in how people use artificial sweeteners based on their study, which included some human experiments. The researchers and outside experts said more study is needed, while industry groups called the research limited and said other evidence shows sweeteners are safe and useful for weight control.

The study from researchers in Israel was released Wednesday by the journal Nature.

The work suggests the sweeteners change the composition of normal, beneficial bacteria in the gut. That appears to hamper how well the body handles sugar in the diet, which in turn can result in higher blood sugar levels. This impairment, called glucose intolerance, can eventually lead to diabetes.

Some experts who didn't participate in the work urged caution in interpreting the results.

James Hill, an obesity expert at the University of Colorado, called the work good science. Still, overall, "I do not think there is enough data yet to lead to a definitive conclusion about artificial sweeteners and the body's handling of sugar," he wrote in an email.

"I certainly do not think there is sufficient evidence to conclude that they are harmful."

Well hell of course NOT!

Why it's so safe for your, so many sweetened foods that are normally sweetened with Sugar, but then changed to HFCS with out informing the public. Now In the last couple of years, my wife and daughters have bought what they thought were items sweetened with typical Sugar, in one form or another. Turned out to be sweetened with several different artificial sweeteners no HFCS or cane sugar.

They used to advertise the use of it, as a sugar alternative "Artificially Sweetened" or "Low or NO calories". Now they don't want you to even know that. From bubble gum to powered drink mixes to ice creme to sodas. Read the label next time, you're poisoning your self.

OF course it's no need for concern though. Gotta keep the profits moving along Kids!
Say did you sign up for Obamacare yet?
