Well that's fair, but science literate people would then direct you to the largest study ever performed on sweeteners and artificial sweeteners, the NutriNet-Santé population-based cohort study, found the highest risk from any artificial sweetener was Aspartame with a breast cancer hazard ratio of 1.15 which is to say a 15% increase correlation of breast cancer forming in consumers of aspartame over about a decade. The study didn't control for potential selection bias or other outside factors and the CI=95%, range from 1.03-1.22.
Technically speaking, Aspartame would still be preferred for health outcomes over an equivalent consumption of sugar in cases where calorie consumption is high, in the assumption that the Aspartame product in question doesn't contain calories.
