a question about Crystal Light
This might seem a bit anal but I'm just curious. Our local Costco had some
Crystal Light for sale, and since it's Costco I now have about a 6 month supply of raspberry ice, lol. (for those that don't know Costco- it's a gigantic bulk warehouse that has pretty good pricing) I was keeping on track with drinking alot of water throughout the day, but now I really enjoy having CL. So my questions are- (as silly as this might sound) does the CL interfere with the way my body absorbs the water? Is too much aspartame bad for you? Thanks guys! Kim 155/140/135 |

Kim 155/140/135 I drink CL frequently instead of plain water. Here are a few sites with information on aspartame. http://www.aspartame.net/media/info/faq7.html http://www.aspartame.net/media/scilib/sclib003.html http://www.medicinenet.com/script/ma...articlekey=547 http://tinyurl.com/227eu |

Kim 155/140/135 What a great question. I've been wondering the same thing as I drink vast amounts of Ruby Red Grapefruit And Pink Lemonade CL. ;-) My DH has been medically restricted to non-caffeinated fluids for hydration, and he's allowed Sprite, so I'd assume that CL is as hydrating as water--or, for that matter, anything that doesn't contain caffeine. However, I do wonder about carbonated bevvies. DH's nutritionist advises that the Sprite has to sit for a few minutes (until the bubbles subside) before he can drink it because it can cause bloating.

a question about Crystal Light
when i first started losing weight with weight watchers I didn't like the
taste of plain water so i bought crstal light and still lost. I have drank diet pop for a long time as well and have had no problems. Also My mother has drank diet pop for yrs and she is fine and has never had any problems with drinking to much aspertame. Angie "cooper" wrote in message ...

Kim 155/140/135 I can't see why it would. Though, I've drunk diet soda sweetened with aspartame for years... and I find that I feel better hydrated and my skin looks better when I am drinking just water. It may just be me. Cynthia |

It is easy to find folks who insist they lose better if they drink any flavored liquid *in addition* to their water quota not *instead of* their water quota. It's also easy to find folks who insist they do fine either way. Clearly there's no harm in drinking enough pure water to reach your quota and other liquids after that and it may help. Is too much aspartame bad for you? For me personally? Nope. I do know several people who have problems with aspartame. So it depends on you and you'll have to try it and find out for yourself. Bottled Crystal Light uses splenda/sucralose not nutrasweet/aspartame. Far fewer reports come out about problems with splenda than with aspartame but the number isn't zero. |

ASPARTAME ( a question about Crystal Light)
"cooper" wrote in message ... snip Is too much aspartame bad for you? This is just a reply to the aspartame issue... Both my bf and I have bad reactions to aspartame. We usually end up with nausea and cramps - I have actually thrown up on occasion because of having drinks with aspartame. For some people aspartame can be a little hard on the stomach. I can't even have a piece of gum w/o my stomach doing flip-flops. :| OTOH, my mom lives on aspartame. She has her packets of Nutrasweet and I have my box of Splenda. Does anyone know of any diet pops that do not contain aspartame? Sometimes having a can of pop is refreshing, but I simply CANNOT have diet coke/pepsi/sprite/7-up/etc... ~Liz |
