Thank you a lot for elaborating on it. Sounds like they are just spreading FUD.

To add to this, in the eu the recommended daily dose is max 0.5g/kilo bodyweight, so around 35 grams for adult male, and this is only based on short term adverse effects on intestines.

They are making bold claims, but looking at other literature too (linked by savethetuahawk) I would still advice against eating a lot of it. Many of these artificial sweeteners have not been in use for long enough for us to know the long-term effects of consumption and this paper is just one piece of the puzzle for figuring it out.
