Worth noting the artificial sweetners found to have correllations with increased risk of cancer are aspartame and acesulfame-K.

Sucralose, stevia, and others were not found to have an increased risk, but they were only present in a much smaller segment of the population (i.e. 10% used Sucralose) so they may not have enough representation to be ruled out.

I was looking for the same point, specifically about Sucralose. Here's the point for anyone else thats curious (from the study itself; not the article):

> In particular, the absence of a relationship between sucralose and cancer risk in this study should be considered with caution since exposure to sucralose was very low compared to the exposures for aspartame and acesulfame-K.
