Okay, since I've had my DD, I've been pretty set in the ideas of what I think is okay for her to have and what is not.

Hi,

I do not have any kids at all. But, I wanted to make an important statement.

You said you sometimes make an exception for Crystal Light, and what not?

Please don't think I am preaching or pushing my feelings onto you- please make your own decisions, as it is your household!

Be careful!! The aspartame used to sweeten the "Sugar free" drinks (crystal light, diet sodas, etc) is sooo dangerous. Not only has it been linked to many types of cancer, but I've recently learned something new. When ingested, the aspartame is broken down into many different chemicals. One of those chemicals is FORMALDAHYDE (Yup, same stuff they use to preserve people who've passed away). That is scary. It is "better" (if thats the right word) to just drink the sugared stuff in moderation- at least sugar is a naturally occuring sweetner, and it is digested as such.

I just wanted to inform you all of the information I've recently learned. Like I said before, make you own decisions- but when I learned of that- I was onto strickly water! Nothing else is better, right?!
