Research suggests that they are just as bad as sugar.

I wouldn't worry unless you are having lots of tea and lots of sugar or sweetener. It's hasn't had much of an impact on my weight loss and I drink quite a lot of tea. Try to not have any sugar but will have the odd sweetner with them.

Try to cut down little by little every day within few weeks your hate drinks with sugar my daughter gave up sugAr that way now has none at all even on oats and says it tastes like poison can even smell it in her friends tea. I've never taken it and can detect it to hope you can get off this stuff the more you have the more you need good luck x

Apparently aspartame sweeteners are bad for you but Truvia or Stevia ones are okay. At least they'll cut down the calories you don't want to waste in your drinks.

I've used sweeteners, including aspartame, for decades. You'll find them in a lot of low cal & diet products. Aspartame has recently been given the all clear against being carcinogenic.

I don't think anyone has answered about sweetener, someone told me that they we're bad for you, they are used like an aspirin is this true
