Crystal Light vs. Water

[Jodi]

Wow, this is an old thread. My views on crystal light have changed considerably. Anything with aspartame is dangerous.

Those drinks are loaded with sugar. I'm sure you can find something better to use those calories on.

Yea I don't know why some people can't stand drinking just water.
I have known friends and family, who I encouraged to drink a lot of water, won't because "it doesn't taste good". fucking wahhh.

I typically drink six 750 ml (yes, I'm in Canada and use the metric system) containers of water while at work. I used to use Crystal Light for maybe two of those each day. These days though, if I want a little flavor added to my water, I throw in a scoop of Orange flavored Metamucil. May sound weird but I figure the fibre is beneficial and makes the water more palatable. And it's not that I need the extra fibre as I eat plenty of veggies, oatmeal and brown rice but think that the little extra fibre doesn't hurt either. Just my two cents.

Fruitopia and Powerade are not flavored waters. They are juice.

I agree, aspartame (amongst other fake ass chemical sweetners) is absolute crap. Not only is it bad for you, it gives me so much gas, ive been on the verge of divorce LOL

Im a huge fan of stevia

However, if one is to drink pop, juices and shit and wishes to replace those (as well as their long term side effects) with a serving or two of crystal light per day... I say go for it!

if you need something with a little more "flavour" add a little lemon juice... i can down 4 L of that easy, on top of the plain water i drink (hopin ders no downsides to it n dat the dilution helps with the acidic nature of lemon)
