The new issue with some sweeteners isn't to do with carcinogenesis, researchers found that it still causes your body to act as though it's had sugar but there's no actual calories involved and so makes you ravenously hungry, so over time people who drink sugar free drinks end up eating more calories and thus causing the exact issue they are trying to prevent by switching away from real sugar drinks in the first place, though I would say it's fair to say it's just as bad as real sugar rather than actually worse

What is the issue they are avoiding in the first place?
People assume that by drinking sugar free drinks they are reducing their caloric intake - but research showed that not to be the case as they then over ate as the sugar free drinks made them hungrier
