Good stuff: It's not a diuretic or water pill but a very good hydration and thirst quencher.

Crystal Light: Crystal light isn't a diuretic. It's free of caffeine and sugar, but has plenty of the artificial sweetener aspartame. This has been linked to neurological symptoms such as headaches and more. This powder is also highly processed, containing other chemicals too. http://tinyurl.com/mhgbh63.
