MIO water enhancer

Has anyone tried the MIO liquid water enhancer?  I had it yesterday at a friend's house who is also pregnant.  She said that it was safe to drink, but when I looked at the ingredients, it has sucralose and acesulfame potassium.  Most places say that it is ok, but I am wondering what you think?

I've been using it in limited doses (ie, not all my water is flavoured with it).  In moderation I am sure it's okay but I do like to stay away as much as possible from chemicals in general.  However, it is not one of the sweetners that is totally not okay during pregnancy.  I can't remember which it is, but I think it's saccarin (sp?)?  So I've been using it but only like, once/twice a week when I really need encouragement to drink my water!

I LOVE mio...but stopped using it when I found out I was pregnant.  At that time I was swearing off all fake sugars but I think the only one that is best to avoid is the one found in sweet n low...and as always, moderation.

I've avoided it not because of the artificial sweetners but I believe it has Propylene Glycol in it? May want to read this.

I agree with just using in moderation.
