What does /fit/ think of Crystal Light?

I'm on my 6th week of getting in shape. I've stopped drinking soda and anything with corn syrup. All I drink now is water, orange juice and green tea made from tea bags. I like to mix Crystal Light in with my water. Is this bad?

Nutrasweet is bad for you. If you want lemon flavor, buy a bottle of lemon juice concentrate for $1.00 and flavor it with that.

Lipton's To Go packs are better. Only 4 calories per pack.

There are 0 calories in Crystal Light, or so it says on the back of the container. Why is it bad for you?

Cut a lemon into quarters, squeeze one quarter into some water. You dont have to stir... it tastes just like lemonade!

Aspartame being bad for you is just a fucking myth. People who spread the bullshit need to be shot, seriously.

Does this mean I should give up my Lo-Carb Monster addiction >_>

That's absolute bullshit. If I ingest anything with even small amounts of aspartame I get crippling migraine headaches.

Aspartame does nothing. There is nothing that links aspartame to any cancers or that crap. Only people who it can effect are those people with the disease (you know that red warning thing on diet coke cans? those people). So, why did those mice get cancer from aspartame? Because they were feeding them three times their body weight in aspartame. I'm sure you'd die if you ate three times your weight in ANYTHING.

The cancer connection has been disproven. The fact that it lowers your metabolism significantly, reducing or reversing weightloss, has been proven.

I'd like to where the fuck it says it lowers your metabolism. And that study that said people who drink it gain weight? It's because they drink it and think they can eat whatever the fuck they want because it's "diet" coke.

I just know that when I drink diet coke, I get really really hungry within about an hour.
