Crystal light bad?

I use Crystal Light Lemonade every day so I can stay hydrated. I don't like it too sweet so I use one small packet with 32 oz water instead of 20 oz listed on the package. It works fine for me.

I guess some people really like crystal light but I can't keep it down. Makes me sick every time I try it. 

my WLS surgeon recommended it to me...it's on his list AND his nutritionist's list as an acceptable way to get tha****er down... me? I like the lime one! oh, artificial. we changed almost a decade ago to only natural products - sugar, butter etc believing that all those articifical items could/might/maybe in the long run not good choices. dunno if we're right but natural we still believe is best...tho in moderation for sure!
