Crystal Light

Is it bad to drink too much Crystal Light? I bought the White Tea flavor and I've been drinking it like crazy!

How much do you drink? I think two bottles should be the limit. But there really is no set limit.

today.... 3 bottles.

I know it has Splenda, doesn't it? Is there a limit to how much Splenda a person should enjoy in a day? I'm curious too because I just bought the green tea to go packets from lipton which I think are the same idea.

Crystal light has aspartame. There really isn't a set limit by the FDA.

oh. hmmm. the lipton has splenda. Aspartame gives me a tummy ache when I have too much, Watch out for that!

I tried those Lipton Green Tea packets...good stuff!

In general, I think it is best to stay away from artificial sweeteners as much as possible.  They haven't been around long enough for us to really know what kind of affect they will have on our bodies.  Personally, I am a fan of Splenda....so I know it's hard, especially when we are dieting!  However, I've found that drinking hot tea has helped me to get away from sweet drinks.  Plain black tea, flavored herbal tea, green tea....mix it up so you don't get bored!  The herbal teas are especially great for people who crave flavor...you would be surprised how much flavor can be packed into those zero-calorie, really-good-for-you drinks!

An alternative to crystal light are the Celestial Seasonings Teas to go.

I personally love Crystal Light and have been drinking it for a long time. It's not harmed me as far as I can tell. I love the Lemonade. I drink it all the time and it helps gets liquids in me since I've cut back on my pop intake. It also helps my sugar cravings. I think if it helps you get liquid and helps your diet then more power to Crystal Light!
