Often food or drinks containing artificial sweeteners will say low calorie. But they don't have to. I've been finding artificial sweeteners in kids drinks like Hawaiian punch and juice boxes. It tastes disgusting and I'm not sure it's really healthy to eat a lot of artificial sweeteners.
America is under a push to lower obesity as a result food is now containing much higher amounts of artificial sweeteners then in the past. Not all of them are required to be labeled as lower cal or fat free some of these are in regular containers and unless you check the label or have really good taste buds you might never know it was in there.
I personally can taste it in most foods (not all mind you) and artificial sweeteners can make me sick or give me head aches.

When it bothered her, she could only describe it as making her brain feel strange.
Suffice to say artificial sweeteners trigger migraines in me.

I think in moderation they are probably fine. I personally try to avoid them because I get head aches from them. However if the government starts pressuring the food industry to use more and more artificial sweeteners in every day foods you might be eating large amounts of it and never know it if you don't check the food labels.
That was my point and what I wanted to draw attention to.
