 If you do research on fake sugars it can be pretty scary. Healthier options could be homeade lemonade sweetened with truvia/stevia or Caffeine free tea with truvia/stevia.

I don't have an issue with artificial sweeteners, but I know a person who does - they giver her headaches.  So if you find you are getting headaches they might be an issue.

I too like the mio enhancers.  I gave up soda when I decided I was going to do WLS.  The enhancers have helped a lot.  I did find I had to be careful with the Energy version ones though - they have more caffeine than I thought and too much give me the shakes!

 I can't tolerate the sweetness of Crystal Light. It's more the chemical taste than the sweet factor because I love sweet things. I recently found a Target packet in their Archer brand that is sweetened with Stevia.  I love the Apple Pear flavor.

 I can't drink any artificial sweeteners- especially aspartme which causes bad migraines and reflux (even before surgery).

So I dont drink anything diet.  Water, juice, tea, milk, and occasionally gatorades that's it for me.

I get migraines with Aspartame and moreso with Splenda (sucralose).  Crystal light now makes a crystal light "pure" and its sweetened with sugar and stevia.  Each serving only has 15 calories though (despite using regular sugar, so it must be a minimal amount).  I just bought 2 boxes yesterday to experiment with making popsicles LOL

I never thought to make popsicles from it - what a great idea! Thank you for your response - I appreciate it.
