crystal light and liver damage?

**palumbo** · 02-23-2006, 02:52 AM

how bad is aspertame for you.

i was chatting with the nutrionist at mygym and she said crystal light is horrible and over time will cause liver damage??

any comments?

.....................and she has clinical studies supporting this theory?
Seriously dude. You're on a steroid board asking about liver damage from Crystal light? One shot or one pill of anything would more than likely cause more stress on your liver than a lifetime of crystal light. You ever hear of anyone getting a liver transplant becasue they abused Crystal light?

hey smartasss i wasnt talking about needing a liver transplant just wondering more along the lines of the aspertame and using crystal light as an example

also this is more then just a aas board im posting in the diet section not the aas so if u dont have anything positive to say keep it to yourself

This is the diet forum, I'm pretty sure we discuss diet/health here. Could be wrong though

He asked a reasonable question.

I don't believe there are any studies that can prove that theory, I personally think it's complete bullshit that someone would tell you that. Sounds like one of those power-ego-centric-I'm-the-best kind of nutritionists that really don't know shit.

Maybe his ex-wife worked for ... Nestle is it?

I also believe he asked a reasonable question and when you start being sarcastic over honest/intelligent question, you shine people away from making further post.

Had to quote it, cause its so true, but back on topic......... its okay in moderation just like everything else. Just be reasonable with your intake of it.

By the way Abenaki, are you still thuggin? J/K.........just messing with you about that post someone made about you the other day.

**palumbo** · 02-23-2006, 07:49 AM

thanks bros thats what i figured but thought i would get a second opinion not like im drinkin 8 packs a day just cant drink plain water all day

**MarkyMark** · 02-23-2006, 08:13 AM

Whether or not this was a valid question .. I wouldnt suggest that this is a staple of your liquids....

I suggest focussing on Green Tea and water...

**palumbo** · 02-23-2006, 08:20 AM

i agree like i said its just a little here and there along with throwing in some lemons just to mix it up and get rid of the routine of just plain water all day long

Yes I would avoid it anyway. It probably has some chemicals. I couldn't see it being a real tea. I have never looked at the ingredients myself though.

Here's what I posted in another thread about aspartame:

Aspartame (Nutrasweet and Equal) are composed of phenylalanine and aspartic acid. Safe when used in moderation (<= 14 cans of diet coke/day). Not recommended for people with phenylketonuria. Not heat stable, 200x sweeter than sugar.
