Since the article here was published: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/08/070820175426.h..., we have known that the same receptor that artificial sweeteners bind to is also used in the gut to sense sugar.

So anything that tastes sweet isn't just tasting, but being used elsewhere in the body to do sugar related stuff. Probably not a great idea to eat and drink things that strongly bind and mess with key sugar metabolism imo.
