What I don't get is why it took them decades to figure this out. Why have they been giving us sugar substitutes without understanding what they have been doing to us? Why were these approved for use in the first place?

A decades long double blind controlled study is FAR beyond the GRAS standard that requiring it would stifle not only commerce but also science in general.

That's why sometimes we don't see bad effects in food until decades later.
