FWIW, sucralose has also been linked to C diff infection.

It's worth maybe pointing out that this study was based on sucralose, just because it seems this sweetener is worth tracking separately in general. I don't really consume things with artificial sweeteners but sucralose is starting to become a concern of mine (eg for my daughter).

I should edit this by saying I was confused: sucralose does seem to affect gut microflora, but only trehalose, as far as I know, has been linked to C diff.

Still think it's worth keeping track of artificial sweeteners as they're not all the same in their effects.
