Crystal Light

Before I put it to my mouth...............Can someone tell me if Crystal light is ok to drink?

Re: Crystal Light

The Crystal light I have seen is made with aspartame, Which causes stalls in alot of people. But this is a good question too because someone gave me 4 cans of it, I havnt used any of it yet because I am afraid it will stall me.

Hopefully someone will come along and answer this better than I can.

Re: Crystal Light

Crystal light does contain aspartame and maltodextrin. New on the market is 4C light it has 0carbs and is made with Splenda. It is packaged just like Crystal light and should be sold in the same area.

Re: Crystal Light

I've had the occasional Crystal Light. Be aware that it does contain aspartame which is a known staller for some people.
Also, you cannot drink Crystal Light, or any other flavored drink, soda, beverage INSTEAD of your water. 64 ounces of pure water plus an additional 8 ounces for every 10 lbs to lose (I think). I drink in excess of 125 ounces of water every day. I also like iced tea sweetened with Sweet N low, but I don't have it unless I drink my 125 ounces of JUST WATER.

Re: Crystal Light

Joy - Have you tried the the new Aqua-Fina drink...splash...made with splenda...I had one this past weekend and it was really good. It was really just a flavored water, the one I had was grape. No Aspartame, just splenda...it was nice and refreshing.....I thought one of these would be good on a hot summer day.....I'll see if I can find the bottle tonight, (I saved it - to post the info...forgot) sorry.

Re: Crystal Light

mmmm I love grape aquafina!

I've never seen 4c light. I'll have to look for that.

I've used crystal light for years (being diabetic.) I've never noticed it stalling me, but each person is different. Most days I'll have a glass in the morning because I need some taste when I first wake up, then I drink about a gallon of water during the day and sometimes have another glass of crystal light or hot tea or something at night.

Re: Crystal Light

The powdered Crystal Light is sweetened with Aspartame. However, if you can find the pre-made Crystal Light in the bottles...that is sweetened with Splenda.
