After reading this on Time.com

If you haven’t already, you may want to reconsider your diet soda
habit—especially if you’re trying to lose weight. A much-buzzed-about
study published in the journal Nature found that non-caloric
sweeteners such as saccharin (Sweet-n-Low), sucralose (Splenda), and
aspartame (Equal) may mess with the gut bacteria that play a key role
in healthy metabolism. Researchers found a link between these
sweeteners, altered gut microbes, glucose intolerance and metabolic
syndrome (both precursors to Type 2 diabetes) in mice and humans.

I followed the link to this. It's nothing new, but worth repeating.
