Well that's a bold statement based on nothing...

Pretty sure "pretty sure" isn't the basis upon which to set health or food safety policy.

Funny enough their guesses are backed by recent studies.
Funnily enough 'sweeteners' as a class are so diverse that any claim that 'recent studies' universally show a common effect can be thrown straight into the rubbish bin.

Erithritol, Stevia, and Aspartame are all so wildly different that it is implausible they share a common mode of action.
