Second, this study you've linked is very specifically about cola-based soft drinks, something Smoothie King does not sell, so it's entirely irrelevant. You shoulda just posted something about sugary diets killing people.
Third- sucralose is entirely safe. I can't speak for aspartame or others, but sucralose (what normal Splenda is) has been studied extensively and is perfectly fine for human consumption with no ill effects unless it's cooked at high temps... which again is entirely irrelevant in a smoothie.
Sugar can be bad, that's cool, I don't think this is news to anyone... But don't come in here trying to fear monger when it's not warranted and people are just sharing a good deal, it's really unnecessary and out of place.
Also this isn't really the place to plant your soapbox...

All have 0 added sugar. And for the higher ones, don't see it being an issue if someone wants a treat once in awhile.

Consider that one 12-ounce can of soda contains 8 teaspoons (32 grams) of added sugar...So a "healthy drink" advertised by SD (for the smallest size) can have as much sugar as 3 soda cans (Coke, Pepsi etc)
Depends which category you are looking at.

"Long-term administration of soft drink causes memory impairment and oxidative damage in adult and middle-aged rats"
Artificial sweetners are worse than real sugar.. It's like smoking menthol because has less nicotine
