Concern
« on: April 23, 2010, 12:01:18 PM »
Ok here's the down lo. I am not losing weight like I want to, so I have decided to ween myself off soda, cut out sugar alcohols and what not. I am switching to crystal light just so that I can have a flavored drink BUT I just read the label and while it says no carbs no sugar and such, the ingredient list says it has corn syrup and maltodextrin. Should I be concerned about this?

I just feel like I may be consuming to many sugar alcohols and really soda isnt all the great for me. As for seltzer water I have never tried it. Is it pricey?

I love not pricey. So what is different with sletzer water and regualr water. It has no carbs or sugar, but is it fuzzy like soda?

Where do you get sugar free coffee syrups? Do they have sugar alcohols?

Yes it is fuzzy like soda.

Umpa, do those syrups contain sucralose?
I can't use it as it makes me itch..
Also does adding the syrup make the seltzer go flat?

Thanks
