It does feel a bit like "Big Sugar" at work, demonising its replacement with FUD.
The way they lump them all together feels really odd to me.
It would be like a report saying non-hydrocarbon vehicles are bad for reason X. Why would anyone but the sugar industry care about all the different substitutes for sugar in such an undifferentiated way?

I think they care about the substitutes because that's an area where the harm is often debated and much is still unknown. They don't seem to be suggesting that sugar is preferable in any way.
