Anyway, what strikes me about that study is the dosage of sucralose relative to the others. Sucralose is 3x sweeter than aspartame (per the FDA), yet the dosage of sucralose given to the mice was SIXTEEN times that of aspartame (16000 mg/kg vs 1000 mg/kg). What's particularly odd is that aspartame and stevia were given at the same dose, while sucralose was substantially higher. A more appropriate dose, to simulate comparable real-world intake, would be 1/3 that of aspartame, so the dose given here is about 48x what it should be. Almost like they wanted to warp the results against sucralose. Even with that massive imbalance, sucralose comes out looking much better than the others.
There is a recent study (2023) which raised some new questions about sucralose, but apparently one of the authors has been on a crusade against sucralose for over 15 years (and was previously funded by the sugar industry). It doesn't appear that any subsequent studies have come out supporting or refuting this latest one as there are no citations yet. Since sucralose has been extensively analyzed by the FDA, the WHO, the EU, Australia/New Zealand, Canada, and Japan and found to be safe, I think I'll reserve a negative judgment on its safety pending more concrete and non-biased (or less biased) studies.
Also, in that last study you cite as "proof", here's the conclusion:
"No changes were detected in the central nervous system by light or electron microscopy in either of the species that received sucralose or its hydrolysis products."
Looks like sucralose is safe according to that one.

Less than $1.25/can is a very good price (edited because I can't math) and not very common. The military commissary sells them for $1.69, for comparison (commissaries don't really make a profit and charge 5% to cover operating expenses).
The only problem is when I buy these 12 packs, I really get sick of the flavor!
