A. After much research, there is no scientific evidence to indicate that artificial sweeteners are harmful. However, some patients have complained of headaches, muscle aches, and joint pains that have resolved when they discontinued use of artificial sweeteners. Yes, we consider them safe. Use them in moderation. Our recommendation for children is a maximum of 2 diet drinks per day.
