Arizona Diet Green Tea?

[jintman]

It is made with splenda and is listed as less than 1 carb per 8 OZ and same for sugars. But it says that it contains a small amount of honey. I am assuming since there is less than a card per serving that it is Induction worthy. Right?

I love it too.

Is it decaf?

I was going to ask if it's decaf as well. I wouldn't drink it if it has caffeine. I drink a decaf green tea and like it.

I went on the website and it doesnt list caffiene as an ingredient so i guess it probably has a little along with ginsing. I see they also list a No carb/decaf version although there no carb teas contain a little sorbitol along with splenda.

I would go w/ the "no" carb/decaf then. Sorbitol is fine if your digestive system can handle it, alot of products that say sweetened with Splenda are actually sweetened with two or more different types of sweetener.

Be sure to pay attention to the serving size listed on the bottle --most are more than one serving and you don't want to go over your daily sweetener allowance.

I drink 2 cups of the Arizona Diet Green Tea every day. It's really good isn't it? I like to have it with dinner. I've lost 29 pounds in 11 weeks so I don't think it is slowing down my weight loss. BUT I also drink at least 1 gallon of water everyday and I don't count the green tea as part of my water intake and I don't drink diet soda at all.

Are you drinking the regular or Lo carb. How exactly do you count the sweetner in a sweetned drink. Sometimes i have the Atkins drink mix and it says it is 0 carbs per 8 oz. I try to stay at or below 8oz with ant drinks other than water but never was sure how to count the sweetner as carbs

[MotherOfGizmo]

1 serving of sweetener per 1 serving of the tea, serving being whatever the bottle says 1 serving is. Like if you look at a regular softdrink can some say "2" servings (even though we know everyone drinks the whole can they count it as 2)

Personally I wish they'd just make decaf green tea in the bottle w/o any sweetener at all. I love green tea, but I can't stomach the thought of it being sweetened.

Re: Arizona Diet Green Tea?

The following was extracted from the Arizona web page...

DO YOUR TEAS CONTAIN CAFFEINE ?
Yes, all teas contain caffeine unless the tea has been decaffeinated. Our Green Teas (including the Diet Green) contain 7.5mg of caffeine in every 8-ounce serving. Our Black Teas (including Diet Lemon, Diet Peach and Diet Raspberry) contain 16mg of caffeine in every 8-ounce serving. Rx Power and Energy contain 30mg of caffeine in every 8-ounce serving. A 12-ounce cola in comparison, contains anywhere between 35-55mg of caffeine!
