Is crystal light really bad for me?!
Question: Is crystal light really bad for me?
Answers:
Phenylalanine can cause cancer in really huge doses, but it isn't really feasible to ingest enough to harm you- you would have to be trying to get cancer. Sounds like a good plan- of course, plain water is always best, but it gets old- I drink Crystal Light on occasion myself.

I've heard the report that says diet or "light" drinks can make you fat. It's not the drink itself that makes you fat. They only said that because people use the calories they saved by drinking light/diet sodas to eat other fatty things. They think that by skipping the regular Coke & drinking diet Coke instead, that they can eat like a pig & not gain any weight. And no.... it doesn't cause cancer.
It does NOT cause cancer . I have drank it for 15 years . I'm ok . It's a lot better for you than cola .
