Is drinking crystal light healthy?

[cpals]

I've started trying to eat right (again) and have been drinking alot of Crystal Light... is this stuff almost as good as drinking pure water? I like water, but it gets old after a while and I like the different flavors.

Suggestion!

Thanks.

What does the nutrition info on the label say?

injesting high amounts of aspartame is not healthy...

Info

a lot of people do not realize the dangers of artificial sweetners in their diet.

probably doesnt help that Diet Coke is the 3rd highest selling beverage in america

i know that it cannot be that healthy to take in all the aspertame.
If you have any adverse side-effects (nausea, headache, dry mouth) stop drinking it right away. I am not sure what the long term effect is though.
what if you just added some lemon and lime to your water? would that help?

A little splash of lemon does wonders.

That site is garbage. No one has proven aspartame to be dangerous.

You will be fine. It has alot of sodium. But it's still good.
I drink lots of crystal light and diet drinks, and Im fine. Oh yeah, it turned me gay. Other than that I am fine.

I don't know a lot about it, but i do know that i do get a reaction from it. I also know others that have issues when they ingest it as well.
Problems can range from trouble breathing to acne from it. A few folks i know even went to the Dr. and tested on it. That is just what i found out

While I'm not saying your claims are wrong, I'd compare it to people having certain allergies with foods, or having problems with things such as Dyes in food.

More so than some would claim in this thread that it's universally poisonous in small doses.

At least the ones that I bought, they show 0mg of sodium. Only thing that has a number is the calories (5).
