    NO - it's great to use! Better than drinking soft drinks. I drink Crystal light all the time.

    you will hear both sides of the fence when it comes to artificial sweeteners. I'm of the mindset that there probably hasn't been sufficient time for research to determine the potential good, bad or neutral effects on the body. plain water is ideal. I like sobe lifewater...it uses a natural sweetener (stevia) and there are several 0 calorie options. at the same time, I used to be a crystal light fan and it might be perfectly find for you.

    instead of using powdered chemicals, why not just add fresh fruit juice? a squeeze of lemon? and squish of strawberry. Then you KNOW what you are drinking.

    I don't think it's bad for you unless you are avoiding artificial sweeteners. Personally, if my water isn't flavored I don't drink water. I use crystal light, but also Target has a few of their store brands like Market Place and Archer Farms that make some fun flavors. I like MiO also. Sometimes I will put a splash of lemon juice or a packet of True Lemon in my water bottle.

    It's what helps me drink more than 8 glasses/day. I usually put 1/2 packet per 16.9 oz bottle if it's something that tastes overly sweet. There are days I will use the whole packet. I like 4C teas. I have crystal light variety pack as well. I like the mio as well. you can really control how sweet you want it. Happy drinking water!!!

    I drink flavored water. I buy target brand "cherry limeade" and ocean spray "cran-grape" and I drink some of the citrus iced tea ones too. Sometimes it makes my mouth feel dry after. But it reduced my cravings for sweets and I drink plenty (3-4 liters per day) of plain water.

    They told me not to use alot of crystal light ..that plain clear water was better..which just tastes bad..so i cut a slice of lemon and add it to my water which tastes real good....
