**A small amount of poison each day/week is still poison.** https://www.researchgate.net/publication/345393028_The_Impact_of_Artificial_Sweeteners_on_Insects Artificial sweeteners are sweet-tasting additives found in consumable products as substitutes for naturally occurring sugars. They are derived from plant extracts or manufactured by chemical synthesis. Ingestion of sweeteners by insects can lead to significant physiological effects, such as mortality, decreased fecundity, and behavioral change. Due to their low toxicity toward humans and the issues associated with conventional insecticide usage, artificial sweeteners have recently gained attention for their potential use as biorational insecticides. Here, we review their impact on insects and potential as novel insecticides.many conventional pesticides have been replaced by newer **biorational or “low risk” insecticides**. According to Hara (2000), biorational or “reduced risk” insecticides are synthetic or natural compounds that effectively control insect pests, but have low toxicity to nontarget organisms (such as humans, animals and natural enemies) and the environment. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/345393028_The_Impact_of_Artificial_Sweeteners_on_Insects **Which Diet Drinks Do Not Contain Aspartame?** https://www.leaf.tv/articles/which-diet-drinks-do-not-contain-aspartame/ https://www.livestrong.com/article/232708-which-diet-sodas-do-not-contain-aspartame/ https://aspartame-research.com/diet-soda-without-aspartame/
