Default Diet V-8 Splash?? Low-carb alternative to reg. juice?

I was doing the grocery shopping this afternoon and took a look at the ingredients on the V-8 Diet Splash label. It has 3 g. of carbs, 2 of those being sugar - the sweetener is Splenda. It also provides 130% Vit. C, 100% Vit. A and 20% Vit. E.

I have a daughter who loves juice, but she is a bit overweight (no fault of her own! She was put on steroids 5 years ago, gained 10 lbs. in 5 weeks and has never been able to get the weight off even though she is a fairly active girl). I was thinking that this might be a great alternative to the juice she loves to drink with her breakfast and it would be nice for my weekly "splurge" day, also.

Any thoughts on this? I wish I had looked at the label sooner when it came out b/c my son is ADHD and I'm trying to watch his sugar intake ... Strawberry Kiwi Splash is his favorite juice flavor! It is quite a bit more expensive, but my kids are only allowed 1-2 small cups of juice daily, so it wouldn't hurt the budget too much.
