Regardless, it's not important and here's why. Diseases related to obesity are becoming epidemic. The greatest good lies in reducing the amount of fat people in the system.

I do not see them as toxic like many do. I find other issue with them and typically it falls into a false sense of security and over indulgence in a given product because it says "sugar free" or something along those lines. Then in blind studies it has been shown that people eat less when they think it is normal and eat more when it claims "low fat", "sugar free", etc. on the packaging.
