Crystal Light?

Question

Is Crystal light bad for you?

Answer 1

Kinda - nothing with fake sweeteners is good for you!

Answer 2

Crystal Light contains a sweetener called Aspartame, widely believed to toxic to your body.

I stay away from Aspartame as it gives me an immediate headache.  It is also in yogurts and diet sodas.

Try to find another drink that you like-maybe sparking water with fresh lemon in it.  Even thought the effects of Aspartame are not officially proven, why take the gamble?

Answer 3

No i drink at least one a day. They taste great and you get more people to drink water instead of juice

Answer 4

YES! It's made of aspartame.

Aspartame primarily breaks down into formaldehyde and methanol inside your body. Over time, these wear down your immune system and make you more susceptible to illness.

so DON'T DRINK IT unless you feel like having a cold all the time a few years down the road.

Answer 5

h**l no

Answer 6

If you're not a good water drinker, it helps to add a little flavor, I like crystal light for that reason. It does contain aspertame which is not good for people who have IBS or lower digest tract disorders.

Answer 7

They actually have ones that have antioxidants.  I drink the Cherry Pomegranate one which is supposed to help boost your immune system.

Answer 8

no, its a great alternative to water/ water w/ lemon. there's no sugar in it.
