 Ossie-Sharon 12 years ago | Hi again, PetDoctorJ. That product has artificial sweeteners (saccharin and aspartame), which aren’t recommended here. In addition to potential serious side effects over time, their use has been found to impact metabolism in a way that encourages weight gain.
A suggested alternative would be to add about 2 Tbsp of lemon juice (from fresh lemons or bottled) to a glass of water with a natural sweetener such as monk fruit (non-caloric) or xylitol (fewer calories than sugar). |

| Ossie-Sharon 12 years ago | What is it called? I will check. |
| petdoctorj 12 years ago | I’ve always been something of a camel. I’ve never been a big water drinker. I know drinking water is super important for health, however, I get heartburn when I drink a lot of it. also I don’t particularly like water alone. I have come across a fruit juice concentrate that claims 0 carbs and is apple and black currant. no sugar and no artificial sweeteners. it really helps me take in more fluids. is this ok? I only use about 2 tbsp. per 8 ounces of water. |
