Propel Zero Water

Can anybody tell me if Propel Zero water is good for you. It taste to good and I think it has hidden sugar in it. Plz help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's no such thing as 'hidden sugar.' If you look at the nutrition label of Propel Zero, it shows that there are 0g of sugar in it. The sweetness you are tasting is from artificial sweeteners - whether or not it is "good for you" is a whole different debate. There are going to be people that tell you that artificial sweeteners are the devil and you must avoid them at all costs, and others that say they are just fine. The key will be for you to do your research about them and come to your own conclusion about whether that is something that you want to put into your body.

is that availible in europe ? never seen them over here.

It's a manufactured packaged food product. It's not good for you. It doesn't have hidden sugar it just has artificial sweetener which studies show causes cancer in mice. Stick with water.

Just because it's a "manufactured packaged food product" does not support the conclusion that it's unhealthy.
If your claim is based only on the presence of aspartame, the counterpoint is that there is no compelling evidence of harmful effects in humans when consumed in amounts that have any realistic possibility of being consumed:

Safety of long-term doses of aspartame


Another study even found no harmful effects in people with phenylketonuria:
Neuropsychological and biochemical investigations in heterozygotes for phenylketonuria during ingestion of high dose aspartame

It's even OK for diabetics:

Of course, there are very few substances that are safe for 100% of the population, even in realistic doses, and aspartame is no exception. There's no particular reason to add it to a diet.
However, side effects from massive, unrealistic doses in (just male) mice do not mean that there is any particular risk to humans - as the massive body of research literature demonstrates.

If you don't like aspartame, don't consume it. But claiming adverse health effects in order to discourage others is not justified by the evidence.

whoohoo! thanks for the links to aspartame studies. I have friends that swear up and down how it's gonna kill me. I'm not drinking gallons of diet soda a day.

Thank you! I have been seeing for years how artificial sweeteners will kill you or hurt or fry your brain. I have been using artificial sweeteners for 40 years, I must have been going to be a genius. Oh well .
One thing I read is that you should take extra taurine to counter any effects. I do, but that's because I'm over 50 and tuarine production by the liver goes down as you age, or if you eat a low fat diet. Taurine keeps potassium and magnesium inside the cell while keeping excessive sodium out. Taurine is also able to strengthen the heart muscles, lower blood pressure. It tends to inhibit and modulate neurotransmitters in the brain and helps to stabilize cell membranes. It is beneficial to the gall bladders, eyes, blood vessels, and has some antioxidant and detoxifying activities. It's cheap, and good insurance. Google it for the proper information.

I drink gallons of diet soda a day and still lost 170lbs in 10 months. on low cal low carb. Don't believe the hype re diet soda. ZERO calories is ZERO calories..

Yep, I still drink diet pop (probably one a day) and use artificial sweeteners in my coffee (sugar-free creamers/Splenda/etc.). I also drink 'diet' beverages like Vitamin Water Zero and Lifewater Zero.. I'm thinking something else will kill me before the 'evil' Diet Mt. Dew does..

For me it really comes down to listening to your body, doing your research, then making a personal choice.

I avoid artificial sweeteners after suffering migraines and experiencing black-outs after consuming them. My body apparently doesn't like to process them and very clearly tells me to quit eating them.

It's important to do the research - 'natural' products can actually have ingredients that are engineered from natural products, like sucralose, and sometimes have the same effect on your body as artificial products. A lesson I learned the hard way - and now I spend a lot of time in the grocery store reading the ingredients on labels!

Propel Zero does not contain aspartame, it contains sucralos which is Splenda. There is a difference between the two.

I drink multiple diet sodas a day, and I love the propel zero for my water. I buy it as a powder and add it to my water bottles when I don't want plain water. I have never had any problems with it and I believe it is perfectly healthy and as good as drinking plain water. For some people it is the only way they can get the water down because they just don't like water, so I say if it works for you go for it.
