I've been consuming many drinks lately that contain splenda and other atificial sweetners. Is this particularly bad for your health or weight loss? I have been just bored to death with water and so I decided that if I was going to break my little plateau I've been at I needed to drink more .....coffee with splenda, propel, crystal lite etc.. you name it I drink it. What do you think? Would this slow my weight loss? Kathryn

Although Splenda drinks are calorie free the artifical sweetner triggers hunger and/or sweet cravings in some people.My doctor does not endorse us drinking any of those things. We drink water and caff-free herbal teas. I do drink Crystal light from time to time but if it isn't diluted it is way too intense for me. Kathy

Hi there Kathryn - My doctor and nutritionist said splenda is totally fine. They said do anything you can to get the water in, and if crystal light or splenda helps, then by all means do it! Take care, Heather
