What do you think of it? I'm curious about it. It adds no calories right? And does it add any vitamins or anything?

    It is just for flavor. It's sooo yummy. There's nothing bad in it and 0 calories.:happy:

    I think it's just for flavor. But I use it all the time becuase it has no calories or sugar and it has no artificial flavors or ingredients :) I just recently found out about it and I've been drinking it all the time ever since!

    I use it. I've heard people say that there is stuff in it that antifreeze is made from, but I did a little research and found that substance is in many foods. So, I use is sparingly, just when I need a change of taste. :)

    I thought it had two artifical sweetners in it and they were bad for you? I read that on a different post on MFP. Try searching and see what comes up about it.

    Have you READ the ingredients???

    Water, Malic Acid, Propylene Glycol, Citrict Acid, Contains less than 2% of natural flavor, Sucralose and Acesulfame potassium(Sweeteners), Potassium citrate, Polysorbate 60, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Red 40, Potassium Sorbate (Perservative)

    Potassium citrate is mostly used to treat kidney stones -- um, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

    Propylene Glycol - is the main ingredient in deodorant. Yum!

    Sucralose - is 600 times sweeter than normal sugar and cannot be broken down by the body.

    I have found (for myself) that if I consume sucralose for more than a couple days at a time, it has a laxative effect on me. If you like lemon, lime or orange, you miight enjoy TRUElemon, TRUElime and TRUEorange- NO calories, no sugar- just crystallized flavor packets. I add them to water AND plain yogurt.
    You'll generally find them in the same section where the drink mixes are.

    Artificial sweeteners and food colorings???? I'll pass.

    Check out MyWater, made by Soda Stream. It is all natural, no sweeteners and no colorings. Otherwise, add a piece of fruit to your water.
