water flavor packets

[SunnyDC]

hey y'all,

what is your take on the crystal light flavor packets for water? i cut out soda's and i drink water now, but i always add a C.L. lemon ice tea flavor packet to my bottle of water.


are they good or bad? can i still consider it as "water"?

Yes, you can still count it as water. However, you may want to investigate the health consequences of aspartame (the sweetener in Crystal Light and many others). Start by watching this documentary...http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...1488524526735#

I use a product called nuun - they are little tablets that dissolve in water and give it some flavor. Or you can put a squeeze of lemon or a splash of grenadine - OR use seltzer water to mix it up a bit.

That is why I no longer use any artificial sweeteners.
I love water but sometimes I want a little flavor. I'll have to check out nuun.
I do have my green tea also, no caffeine, so it's not dehydrating like black tea.
