Reply With QuoteI would not drink too many of them if you're worried about the sweetener being bad for you. As far as turning to fat I really don't think so.

Drinking flavored water / Crystal Light
What is anyones feeling on aspartame / sucralose? Since these are calorieless, are they okay to drink? I eat an extremely healthy, high calorie diet but tend to drink a lot of flavored water and crystal light. Can these sweeteners turn to fat? I have researched and have seen mixed opinions.

Zero calorie sweeteners cannot give you energy nor can they be turned into fat. Sweeteners will make the pancreas produce a little insulin however even the thought of food produces insulin. I think this is where that bullshit myth started.
I'd try to avoid artificial sweeteners as much as possible though.

Agave Nector has a slightly lower GI than other sugars.

I know what you mean. I took a sip of Mountain Dew a couple of months ago and almost puked.

My room mates got some Crystal Light. It's got fiber in it and I think a little protein. It might actually be the fiber and not the artificial sugar.DRSE Reconnaissance

Dude, my neighbor lady gave me some tasteless fiber supplement stuff last week. I used it one evening, 7.5g of fiber, and for the entire following day I had an odor reminiscent of a paper factory. It was truly tragic for all involved.

I don't know if all crystal light has it, but the kind one of my room mates buy had 5 grams of fiber, and 3 grams of protein (I actually stole one and am drinking it right now. Strawberry banana! It's not bad). It just seems likely that fiber would give someone gas. Of course some artificial sweeteners are also used in laxatives so that makes sense too. Originally Posted by 2B1
