The World Health Organisation is to list processed meat among the most cancer-causing substances, alongside arsenic and asbestos. Fresh red meat is also due to join the 'encyclopaedia of carcinogens' and is likely to be ranked as only slightly less dangerous than the preserved products.
The rulings, revealed to the Mail by a well-placed source, will send shock waves through the farming industry and the fast food sector. They could also lead to new dietary guidelines and warning labels on packs of bacon. The classifications, by the WHO's International Agency for Research on Cancer, come amid mounting concern that meat fuels the disease which claims more than 150,000 lives a year in the UK.

Except that the belief that eating an artificial sweetener is likely to reduce the risk of diabetes is unproven, and there is suggestive evidence that it is false. (In one study it turned out that those who frequently ate artificial sweeteners lost the ability to be satiated by sugar. IIRC, this only tested one of the artificial sweeteners, but the hypothesized explanation was that the body learned that sweet didn't mean you'd eaten calories.)
