Peach Tea Ingredients okay??? IP'ers pls comment
 

I was excited to find Arizona Peach Iced Tea with Splenda for an occasional drink instead of water, but I am wondering if there could be issues with some of the ingredients:

Citric Acid
Instant Tea
Maltodextrin
Sucralose
Acesulfame Potassium

I am thinking we can't have citric acid, maybe maltodextrin and what is acesulfame potassium? Anyone know if these ingredients interfere with Ketosis?

The citric acid is ok. The Maltodextrin is not, it is a starch/carbohydrate. The Acesulfame Potassium is a sweetener that will affect your insulin production (not good for ketosis). Try to stick with just water. If you get bored (like i have been) add fresh mint leaves and/or a True Lemon packet (found in the same section as the sweeteners). Also, try some fresh ginger or cucumbers too. My favorite is a True Lemon packet and a tiny bit of stevia. I hope this helps!

The citric acid is a problem for many people trying to maintain Ketosis. It can cause insulin because it is an part of an element in the krebs cycle (part of our bodies energy production chemistry) that kicks off insulin production.

The MALTODEXTRIN is a TOTAL no! It has a glycemic load and index like table sugar and will require the same insulin production as sugar.

Sucralose (splenda) and ACESULFAME K a.k.a. ACESULFAME Potassium are both in nearly ALL the Ideal Protein phase 1 products (read the online product, nutrition information for the grams in each packet).

ANYTHING WITH JUST SUCRALOSE, ACESULFAME K, ACESULFAME POTASSIUM, STEVIA, REBIANNA, or XYLITOL are acceptable. You can even do a few other sugar alcohols like erythritol which is blended with Rebianna (stevia commercial chemical form) to make Truvia and Purevia.

Hey Britt!

Just an update. Check out the product infomation on the Ideal Protein packets. You will find Acesulfame Potassium listed, often as Acesulfame K. It is perfectly acceptable on this plan especially in phase 1.

:)

Thanks so much for the help! Won't touch the tea :^:

Just a question, Carla you say maltodextrin is a big no but splenda has some in it as well and we are allowed to have it. I guess I am confused as to why it wouldn't be something that is ok to have yet would be in a product that we are allowed. Thoughts?

Hi Flourish, I also love Peach Ice Tea. Here is what I do, because you live in the states you can do this. Canada doesn't have instant tea.
When I visited Montana I bought a couple of jars of instant tea. (nothing but tea)

I make a container of tea and add a few ounces of DaVinci Peach Syrup(has Splenda)...

It tastes good and I love it.. I use that as my treat for drinking my required amount of water or more and then I have a couple glasses of that.
Let me know how you like it. I have also tried the raspberry syrup with the tea. Not my favorite like the peach better. :carrot:
