One of the world's most common artificial sweeteners is set to be declared a possible carcinogen.

(Edit- Question from OP: downvoters, do you not want me to post stories like this, or are you expressing disagreement with some of the people in the report?)

Hopefully this at least means it gets taken out of a lot of drinks. I cannot stand the taste of it, it's bloody horrible. An aftertaste that just lingers.

It gives my partner absolutely banging migraines in more than tiny quantities. I find it gives me huge cravings for junk food about an hour or two after drinking it.

I'd be happy if it disappeared.

Berocca has it for some reason. I'd quite like them to replace it, even though it's been pointed out to me that it's probably fine.

Sucralose does this for me, 99% of "sugar free" stuff has either Sucralose or Aspertame in it, wish more stuff used Erythritol instead.
