Aspartame

[LapbandLo 294]

Does Crystal light or any other similar brand offer options without it? I realize how bad it is for you but I can't find any alternatives besides lemon Water and plain iced tea (which is delicious) and that gets boring after a while

I use MIO and love it. Tons of flavors and options to mix and match. Does not contain aspartame (that I can find anyway)

My dr. Told me to try and avoid those Water mixes mio disani etc. She said while they dont harm me calorie or carb or whatever wise that they tend to make u more hungry.. told me to try and drink plain water as much as possible

[5.0junkie 770]

I can understand a doc saying that pure Water is the absolute best. However, I have yet to discover that MIO makes me hungry. Whether its pure water or flavor added, I feel replenished either way. I also use Gatorade G2 and Pedialyte.

I drink crystal lite and sweet & low. It has no hungar or sugar craving effects on me. This comes down to personal preference

I fill up a 32 ounce bottle almost to the top with Water and put in a splash of unsweetened cranberry juice (Trader Joe's has a good one that is not expensive) and a capful of aloe vera juice. It's a nice thirst-quenching drink and very healthy.

Yeah, I've never had any sugar cravings or hunger from aspartame.. At most a headache but I'm just worried because it's linked to certain cancers and stuff :/

I also use Mio but I can just as well drink plain Water if necessary
