ptp Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Does anybody else drink powdered drinks where you mix powder in water to make a flavored drink? Things like Crystal light, Mio or powdered Gatorade? I like them because they are easy to make and I can control how much flavor there is by watering it down. How safe are those? About as safe as diet pop?
SmileFace Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 I will just link you here Healthy Powder Drink Mix | eHow.com However tried your own flavored waters. I do sliced sliced cucumber, lemon, mint, and/or fruits. 3
EasyHeart Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 They're basically poison. If you're diluting them down, they're better than buying the same thing in bottles, but they're still loaded with sugar and chemicals that have no business being in your body. It also depends on how you use them. If you have a bottle of pop or gatorade once a week as a treat, it's probably not a big deal. If you're drinking several a day as your only source of liquids, that's a big problem.

whichwayisup Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Just stick to water and if you want a bit of zest to your drink, add lemon and a touch of suger or honey. All natural is the way to go and it's healthier for you in the long. 1

amaysngrace Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Crystal Light is a bunch of chemicals and fake flavoring. It's like cancer that you drink.
amaysngrace Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 Any comment? I think he ODed on powder drink chemicals.
