Crystal Light Pure Fitness

I know that we discussed this a while ago, but was wondering if anyone asked the doctor if it was ok to drink?

I bought it this weekend and really see no reason why it should eb a problem since it is sweetened with Truvia and that is "safe"

Re: Crystal Light Pure Fitness

i believe that one is fine, because its a natural sweetener...

all the other crystal lights are artificial sweeteners.

i dont drink it a lot, but occasionally i use the pure fitness.

Re: Crystal Light Pure Fitness

do a google search of truvia and base your opinions on that. I refuse to use it, MORE then the sweeteners. It was banned in the US by the FDA for a long time. Based on what I read, and spoke to my Dr about it, we agreed, that I would not use it.

Besides the trivia, it contains a lot of sodium, more then one should drink

but again, do some research and base your info on that and your draws opinion

Re: Crystal Light Pure Fitness

truvia is made through an unnatural process from what I understand.

I see a nutritionist because I have GD. I am not allowed ANY fake sugars. I specifically asked about truvia... and she said no way.. it's not a natural sugar... even though the packaging says so. IDK the process by which it's made so IDK the details.

She even made me chant..."fake sugar does not make healthy babies"

It got weird in there.

Anyway we are a crystal light household and I just like the way crystal light iced tea tastes. My DH drinks it ALL the time. And I used to as well but no more.

I'm sure there are preggo's out there who drink it and are totally fine.

I did not know this.... i just finished a glass so i am scared to google and see what i find!

Like we say about everything else, as long as it is in moderation.... so i had it today and will probably never have it again!

Re: Crystal Light Pure Fitness

at this point... regular sugar in the raw is probably the best thing since it's real.

Re: Crystal Light Pure Fitness

I pretty much stayed away from any artificial sweeteners as a general rule of thumb.
