Nothing is safer than sugar if you're just talking about a few grams for your coffee.

You listed two isolated facts. You forgot to make a point.

Using artificial sweeteners for coffee is completely unnecessary, unless you're drinking a lot.

The amount of calories in two teaspoons of sugar is minuscule.

Two teaspoons is already one sixth of the WHO recommended daily sugar intake, and that was just the coffee. And WHO claims there are additional health benefits expected if you can do half of what they recommend.
