Our study adds to the evidence suggesting that non-nutritive sweeteners that have generally been purported to be safe, may not come without negative health consequences,”

No. It adds to research about this sweetener. You can't generalize beyond that.

Correct. However, it 'adds to' the evidence provided by other studies
