To Snapple or to Diet Snapple...

Kizat727 · August 2010

I really need an iced tea today. Dr. gave me the ok on teas for caffeine, but what is the lesser evil, sugar or aspartame?? Thoughts?

On another note, I've been extremely good with drinking my water, I usually do 10 cups a day, and the Dr. hit me on the legs with a folder when I asked about drinking a coke here and there. She cringed and began telling me how horrible it was just in general. Yeah, I obviously know it's not good for you, but sometimes, I can't resist, i love the bubbles and the taste! Now DH is super paranoid about me sipping a coke. Friends told me to sneak one here and there while at work.

I always say sugar has been around longer than aspertame/artifical sweetners...my vote would be to SNAPPLE! Enjoy.

I would choose real sugar over aspartame every time. I love iced tea too... it's been the hardest thing I've had to give up this summer!

My OB is real big on sticking to the extra 300 calories a day only - and said aspartame was perfectly safe to drink to avoid the empty calories... I say this as I sip a coca cola (not diet) at work ;-)

I say sugar is better than aspartame. I am usually a diet/splenda girl but I think if I am having caffeine, I shouldn't add aspartame to the mix.

I'd say regular Snapple. I've been told to avoid all diet food. I didn't realize that my crystal light packs that I add to my water bottle had aspartame in them, so now that's cut out too
