Question

To get in my water I began using crystal light. I prob drink 2 gals a day at this point. Any issues with crystal light?  

Answer 1

I used to love crystal light and read how bad for you and stopped drinking them

Answer 2

Well it’s fake and toxic chemicals like Equal or Splenda. Try lemon water and mint and shaved ginger.  

Answer 3

Tru lemon powdered drink mix

Answer 4

I use drink mixes too but the Hawaiian Punch Lemon Berry Splash. I hate regular water and lemon in regular water doesn't have the flavoring I crave so if it's bad, oh well.

I love the ICE drink, it has 0 points for purple but I do like Crystal Light as well.

@sanbo I don't care for that water, my daughter likes it. I also drink Propel, but heard that isn't good for you either, oh well lol

---

@names how many points for the Hawaiian punch?

@dress 0

@names yeah I just checked but it has artificial sweeteners

---

@dress yea I know

Answer 5

I drink crystal lite too. Try to alternate with water but like it much better.  

Answer 6

Crystal light has aspartame not good

Answer 7

I guess it depends if you are concerned with calories only or what is in your drinks. I am a big lable reader mainly because I can't have artificial sugars and dyed they give me migraines. So I try to stay away from as many unnecessary chemicals as I can.  

Answer 8

My husband was drinking that much to quench his thirst! It turned out to be a medical problem. Dropped major weight he ended up having pancreatitis and we found out he was diabetic Thankspe one his pancreas does not work at all. I would talk to your doctor about that much especially if you are craving. If we would have noticed the signs sooner he may have saved his pancreas from total loss.

Answer 9

Caution on drinking more than a gallon of water a day. You can get hyponatremia.  

Answer 10

We don’t want to eat aspartame!  

Answer 11

I like it with lemon or cucumbers. I find the more you drink the more you want to drink. I used to use the crystal light, and it never caused me any problems. I just got to the point I didn’t need it. But there are still times I will add it if I want something sweet, especially since I don’t drink soda of any kind.  

Answer 12

Those artificial sweetener are terrible for you. They ‘pickle’ you brain and cause memory loss. Google it.

@exegetic artificial sugars causes me to have what I call a brain fart. Can't remember a word for a specific item and triggers a migraine.  

Answer 13

2 gallons of water is a large volume. I’m worried about dilution of your sodium. Your doctor ok with that much fluid in 24 hours?  

Answer 14

I have ice, water and a splash of lite cranberry juice for one of my glasses of water in the morning. Just water the rest of the day.  

Answer 15

Water with a splash of orange juice. Keep your blood sugars in check and suppresses your appetite.  

Answer 16

Might want to check with your doctor. There is such a thing as drinking too much water

Answer 17

Be mindfully! Drink your water & use the other drink as treats! Healthier for you even if you really don’t like it.  

Answer 18

I drink hot tea

Answer 19

There is always something that’s not really good for us us but evidently the sugar free crush isn’t harming me since I have lost 101 lbs in 7 months and my doctor does blood every 2 months and everything has looked good I am 70 yrs old still working a full time job and taking care of my husband that has cancer so I must be doing something right and when people see me no one believes I am 70
