Aspartame / sucralose (packets): verdict by goal
The details
Blood sugar: Evidence-based call: near-zero acute glucose impact, so far better than sugar in the moment — but the WHO (2023) advises against relying on non-sugar sweeteners for weight/health, cohorts link heavy diet-drink use to higher T2D risk (partly reverse causation), and they keep the sweet-tooth trained. So a harm-reduction Limit, not a Buy. (Your household framework leans stricter — Berg flags these; if you want them off entirely, set the rule to Avoid.)
How to choose: If used, prefer stevia/monk fruit; treat as a bridge off sugar, not a habit.
How to use it: Best path is dialing down sweetness overall.
How to store: Pantry.
Sensible portion: occasional, occasional
