I would have added the introductory phrase: "FOR SOME PEOPLE".

People have been eating sugar for centuries in many forms.
Most of the ills have been recorded since people began using
saccharin, Sweet'n'Low, Splenda, Stevia, etc.

If I were diabetic I might depend on something like that,
but the flavor and the aftertaste of all of them is so terrible,
I'd probably give up sweets altogether.
