I usually give my daughter crystal lite, different flavors, for her juice instead of the other juices that has a lot of sugar in them. All I drink is Crystal Lite and she really likes it as well.
Someone just mentioned to me that i should ask a doctor about my daughter dirnking crystal lite cuz of the sweetener or something? idk...but its got me a little worried now cuz my daughter drinks crystal lite daily.
Is this silly to worry about?

My child is 18 months old and had a bout with a stomach virus, he hate pedilyte so I asked the peditirician about Poweraid and such. She(is vey skinney) said that alll those drinks have way too much sugar and sodium. She actually suggested Crystal Lite. I asked about the "fake sugar" stuff and she said it is no worse than all the sugar and salt in regular drinks. So that is one doctor's advise.

It's probably not going to hurt her however, maybe try giving her some regular juice once in awhile just watered down.. It's got the vitamins and minerals that she needs that crystal light doesn't have and stay away from Crystal Light Sunburst Orange it has high levels of benzene which has been shown to cause cancer.. I give my kids carnation instant breakfast w/ a banana in it in the morning made with whole milk.. My kids are tiny and it's hard for them to keep weight on... !

well i would be glad if my child was drinking crystal lite instead of mountain dew. I am an avid mountain dew drinker and ever since my son was about 15 months old he will just grab my soda cans and drink out of them. He is not over weight or non active, so I wouldt worry about it too much!

Crystal Light isn't good for anyone. It's loaded with artificial sweeteners, dyes, and all kinds of nasty stuff. Give her 100% juice, with water. I give my daughter a 50/50 mix. You shouldn't be drinking it, either. Once in a while, maybe, but you need to be drinking good old fashioned water.

Actually someone just told me that if you have that daily, then basically become addicted, and when you try to stop you get withdrawal..im not reaally sure what it is. I would ask a doctor though, to be safe.

Well it does contain aspratame and that is not that good for anybody. I try not to drink anything that has that stuff in it.
