Crystal Light ? green tea?

Question

is it the same as regualr green tea , will it help your metabolism ? thanks.

Answer 1

i used to think crystal light was not bad for you, but I'm realizing that anything with the ingredients that crystal light has in it can't be good for you. I don't care if it has zero calories.

the answerer above is right.  You should brew your own green tea and serve it over ice.  Add honey or sugar if you want.  Just a tip when brewing green tea.  Hot water (not boiling) and less steep time.

Answer 2

Crystal light and koolaid are the worst things you can drink.  No offense to the company, but they are chemicals.  No good things in them at all.  Crystal Light is mostly aspartame which is so bad for your brain function, it's not even funny, and it's been shown to cause cancer in labs.  Now, I know that just because mega doses of some chemical causes cancer in a rat doesn't mean a regular dose will cause cancer in people,

BUT, if you really want to drink Green tea for the benefits it gives, drink real green tea - and actually the decaffinated is better (although, I know that it is chemically altered too - to take the caffine out).

Get some green tea bags, make a large batch and keep it in the fridge.  You can even put it in a water bottle or other take along type bottle.  

Green tea is not just good for your metabolism, it's good for your stomach (neutralizes excess acid), for brain function, and for detoxifying your whole body.  

Just go with the regular green tea.

Crystal light is not the same, it's just flavored like Green tea, it does not have the same health benefits.
