Refined Sugar Is a Chronic Poison
Great lecture going over how too much cheap sugar has ruined human health over the past 30 years:
The actual culprit is fructose, but keep in mind fructose isn't just in high fructose corn syrup, but is in all forms of refined sugar. He goes over the biochemistry of exactly why fructose is bad-- as bad as alcohol in fact, if not worse because people don't think of it as a toxin and so don't really moderate it.
Of course, the artificial sweetener aspartame is worse:
I don't know as much about Sucralose or Splenda. It appears to be a bit safer than aspartame-- it doesn't get taken up by the intestine very well for one-- but I don't care for the taste of it, or any artificial sweetener, personally. Interestingly, it is 3.3 times sweeter than aspartame --note the 33.

Splenda is bad. Stevia is fine. Maple syrup is best sweetener
Here is recent piece on Splenda
