There's many different sweeteners each of them has its own lifecycle in our body.
In general you can eat them safely, most of the studies showing their negative effects are poorly conducted inconclusive experiments (asparthame especially). The other half shows adverse reactions in mice, which have a very different digestion.
The point of sweeteners is that you do not digest them, they leave your body with the same structure they had when they entered.
I would avoid stevia though, I think it's the one more controversial and it's only pumped because it's extracted from a natural plant rather than sythesized.
