Total dietary consumption of artificial sweeteners is not clearly associated with cardiovascular disease mortality or the incidence of cardiovascular events, based on a systematic review of observational studies that assessed intake through food frequency questionnaires and dietary records in adult populations.
What the research says
Supports is higher

These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Eating artificial sweeteners doesn't show a clear link to heart‑related deaths or heart problems, according to studies that looked at what adults eat.
