I just read a post about splenda and artifical sweetners. All of the 64 oz or more of water I drink a day is with crystal light. Is this just as bad for me? I hate plain water!

    I drink three 24 ounce bottles with Crystal light in it every day (Only one packet, though, which is aimed at 16 ounces, so it's watered down.)

    I was drinking a ton of diet soda before that. I'm losing weight, and when I'm doing things like a long workout I drink plain water but I love my watered down crystal light. Is it the BEST thign you could do? No. But it's better than before when I'd go WEEKS without drinking anything but coffee and soda.

    I drink a lot of Crystal Light, also! Just got the Mio drink mix - tastes great & easy to mix with water. Anything's better than drinking beer, coffee & diet coke!:bigsmile: :drinker:

    Crystal Light gives me headaches, but I do like plain water.

    Amen to that! I drink a lot of Crystal Light and hot tea with Splenda, I count all that towards my water intake. And if judging by the number of times use the bathroom in a day, I would say my body counts it as water too!

    With so many mixed reviews out there, I have decided to just drink water with lemons, limes, cucumbers, etc. Or iced tea. It all tastes good, is refreshing, and I have yet to hear anyone dispute the healthiness of them.

    I don't usually use crystal light because the aspartame will give me a heachache but I do use the nestea iced tea singles with sucralose. It is 5 calories per single and it is how I get all my water.
