Tamara - What do you think of Carbonated Drinks

Hi Tamara,  I was just looking at the French diet and it says carbonated drinks are a big no-no for ttc a girl.  But I have noticed lots of ladies drinking sprite zero because of the aspartame.  What do you think?

Would it be okay for DH to drink sprite zero or diet coke?  I don't think my DH will like Crystal Light but he probably would drink sprite zero so it might be a good way for him to get aspartame.

Thanks for all of your help:)

carbonation blocks calcium absorption

So you feel that's more important than DH's consumption of aspartame, Tamara? My hubby wont drink CL either. :(

Good to know about the calcium absorption blocking.  I will stay away from carbonation.  But would it be okay for DH if that's the only way he will drink aspartame?  Especially if he drinks it at a different time than he is taking the calcium supplements?

Beadin Babe can you put equal or sweet n low in anything in place of sugar? Those have aspartame too.

Thanks BR! I've been trying to get him to do that, but he's not a fan of artificial sweeteners. It's all my fault, too! I've preached against them for sooooo many years and now all of a sudden, I'm trying to shove it down his throat. lol.

I think he's slowly coming around though!

Yeah my mom's asking questions about my sudden liking of crystal light. LOL. I've told her all these years her diet coke is bad and now I'm doing the same thing.

Too funny!  I have always hated artificial sweeteners too, and my Mom is totally addicted to diet coke and I have told her how bad it is.  Now I actually really like the Crystal Light Peach Mango Green Tea.  My kids like it too.  I wish they made it with real sugar and then I would continue to drink it even after the sway. Brw3princes, you can tell your Mom you read online that it helps conceive a girl. My Mom really wants a granddaughter (she loves to shop) so she is all for the girl sway

My mom thinks I have enough kids. LOL. She was a big family and doesn't understand that's what I want. She very critical and we aren't THAT close. Otherwise, she'd be really proud lmao. But until that bundle is here, she just criticizes. Thanks!
