Trying out artifical sweeteners (i.e. Canderel), are they worse for anxiety than basic sugar?

Saw it on offer in the shop and thought I'd try it, but thought I read somewhere that artifical sweeteners can be bad for anxiety, does anyone agree?

I’m not sure, if I use them I only use sucralose or stevia. I avoid anything with aspartame.

Well, when I was younger I did not use artificial sweeteners. Now that I'm older I've been using them for years to help control weight. I've seen no I'll effects. I'm still batshite crazy, but no more so than when I was younger lol. Just kidding...I don't think they impact anxiety at all
