Abstract in brief
Low-calorie sweeteners (LCSs) may help with weight loss or maintenance by reducing calorie intake, but previous research has shown mixed results.
The meta-analysis of 15 RCTs and 9 cohort studies found that LCSs slightly but significantly decreased body weight, BMI, fat mass, and waist circumference in controlled trials, while observational studies showed no link to weight or fat mass but a small increase in BMI.
Overall, evidence from high-quality RCTs suggests that replacing regular sugary foods or drinks with LCS options can have modest benefits for body weight and composition.]
In fact, HUMAN studies show NO effect of artificial sweeteners on gut microflora & insulin sensitivity

@FrancisG_02 @itssanman @Nipko_ @Pyrocynical 1. Mouse trials are good starting places, but you need to replicate in humans.
2. Regardless of mechanisms people find, what matters is outcome studies. Here are a bunch that show no harm, and even some benefit:
