I'm assuming no to crystal light for the same reason as diet soda. I just water down my juices.

I was told aspartame was okay - it was saccarine(sp) that I couldn't have. Am I wrong????

i have read the same, splenda ok, aspartame is ok, but in moderation, saccharin=equal, not ok
i used to big diet drinker, now they give me really bad headaches, so i can't even sip something with splenda or atificial sweetners in it. like someone said, i water down my juice, and put lemon or lime in water or seltzer

Re: is crystal light safe to drink????
I have a list from the dr. of artificial sweeteners to NOT have, and aspartame is on the list. The only one that was ok is splenda.

Equal is aspartame. Sweet 'n Low is saccharin. I'm pretty sure the Fruit2o flavored waters are made with Splenda. Maybe you can try them. Also, Pepsi One is made with Splenda, and Coke now has a diet cola made with Splenda.

I gave up all artificial sweetners. Wasn't worth the risk to me.

Re: is crystal light safe to drink????
My doctor also told me that equal was the only one to stay away from, and because I had GD the nutritionist recommended diet sodas and stuff since I had to watch my sugar.
However I checked those one-serving things of crystal light today, because i used to have crystal light but like a lot of the newer drinks with splenda, and I compaired the ingredients and the sweetener in the crystal light was the same as in the splenda, so it is probably safe since splenda is a safer sweetener.
Also these were those little individually wrapped crystal lights that you put into water bottles, not a big container of them.
