To be fair, not everyone has the option. Diabetics for example, are rather cost prohibitive in choices for sweeteners. They can't use regular sugar, and most "alternative natural sweeteners" like Monkfruit for example, are rather expensive. So that limits their choices.
Besides, if you listened to every single one of these "studies", you'd see that literally everything causes cancer. I remember a few years ago that several universities came out with multiple studies that said red meat caused cancer, then it was dairy causes cancer. Before that (in the early 2000's) there were literally "researchers" coming out with reports that "Fresh fruits and vegetables" cause cancer because they're fertilized.
Yeah not even joking. At one point, they tried to claim that fertilized crops and red meat caused cancer.
So I find myself often in the sceptic camp with "reports" like this. 9 times out of 10, it usually ends up being a nothing burger created with handpicked "observations" that support whatever agenda they're trying to push.
In this case, I'd say it's probably part of the agenda to force us all to eat bugs and completely artificial food. (Sucralose is artificial in name only since it's basically just processed natural white sugar that has zero calories/carbs, as opposed to regular sugar which has calories/carbs)
My dad was diabetic. We changed his diet but we also changed it to raw honey. I don't eat that much sugar anyway but if I need to, it's default local honey.
Well the few diabetics I know hate the taste of stevia, say it's too bitter, and when they try honey it makes their blood sugar skyrocket.
From my understanding, honey and maple syrup are the actual healthiest sweeteners, but they're also the highest in terms of carbs, calories, etc. So it's kind of a trade off for diabetics. On one hand, you get all the natural antibiotic and antioxidant benefits of honey and maple syrup. On the other, you have to be careful with how much you use since it can blow your sugar out of proportion.

Just my two cents on the topic.
How about Stevia and raw honey?

I tried stevia, it's not bitter, it's odd. You have to get use to the taste.
Honey is my default.
