There’s strong evidence that all artificial (including “organic non-caloric”) sweeteners disrupt metabolic responses, leading to lethargy and more weight gain than a comparably sweet amount of sugar.

In addition to making you fat, most others have some other bonus side effects like causing cancer, migraines, screwing up gut microbes, etc.

There is weak or no evidence of this. These products have been widely consumed by hundreds of millions of people over very long timeframes and are broadly very safe. The literature mostly shows the opposite of your weight gain claim.
