    they generally have artificial sweeteners, but it's up to you to decide if your okay with consuming it.

    Some people are completely against artificial sweeteners.
    Some people have adverse reactions to consuming artificial sweeteners. (headaches, sweet cravings, etc.)
    Others (like myself) have no issues with artificial sweeteners and use stuff like Crystal Light on a regular basis.

    It really depends on you. As long as you aren't sensitive to the artificial sweeteners used in them.There are others who will tell you (WRONGLY) that only plain water counts as water.

    I personally see nothing wrong with them and use them occasionally. I have found something I really like to flavor my water and that's True Citrus. They are crystallized citrus with a very small amount of cane sugar. Each packet equals the juice of one wedge of fruit. They have no calories and are completely natural and come in lemon, orange, lime and grapefruit. I buy mine on Amazon.

    A very crazy topic I think if your having problems drinking water that yes this is a good alternative just make sure to only do it for some of your water and not all. Also everyone's body type is different when I was down about 10 lbs my weight loss came to a dead halt until I stopped drinking them for whatever reason my body is just sensitive to it. So it's fine but just make sure it doesnt affect you losing.

    Certainly better than not drinking water if that is your alternative.
