I have read about the dangers of using artificial sweeteners, and I have pretty much eliminated them from my diet, as a common food. I do enjoy having pop along with pizza, or when we go out for a cheeseburger; and I do not like sugar-sweetened pop, it tastes like syrup to me; so I have Diet Coke or another diet pop.
I have not had any problems from using the artificial sweeteners that I know of, and have also used different ones over the last 50 years.
Still, it seems like it is safer to avoid everything that has a mostly chemical makeup, and eat as close to what the good Lord created as possible. Trying to factor that in with keeping carbs in check, and still being able to have a sweet-tasting dessert now and again, it is kind of like balancing on a tightrope.
So I am not totally consistent on any one thing, and usually try (first) to avoid the sweets altogether, and to limit my consumption of either natural sweeteners or artificial ones.
The coconut sugar is supposed to be very low on the glycemic index, and is fairly unprocessed, so that is my favorite choice for a sweetener.

Here is a list of the chemicals used in making Splenda, and apparently, the chlorine is one of the worst problems with using it.

There's chlorine in the water too.
