I'm not telling anyone what they should do if that's directed at me. I share my personal experience, and reasoning. It's working great for me.
Either way I'm not sure what long-term means in this case. More than 2 years for me and unless I have a specific medical reason that counters the medical reasons I'm doing what I do, there's very little chance I will ever change. I have so successfully eliminated sugar from my diet that my taste palate has changed - even fresh berries are disgustingly sweet to me now.
If I were into racing I might be into a different situation. Maybe. But what I do is more endurance related and not being tied to refueling is very liberating.
