Short answer: KoolAid is made from sugar and chemicals for flavor. It tastes great. Is it good for ya? No.
LONG ANSWER:
On February 24 and February 27, 2006, EWG purchased the following drinks at four major retail outlets in Washington, DC. They all contained ascorbic acid and either sodium benzoate or potassium benzoate—the ingredients that the FDA and the beverage industry have said can mix together to form benzene, a known human carcinogen. The actual levels of benzene formed in these products may be at trace levels and well within legal limits for drinking water.
A few of the products tested were:
# Kool-Aid Jammers Blue-Raspberry
# Kool-Aid Jammers Cherry
# Kool-Aid Jammers Grape
# Kool-Aid Jammers Orange

I cannot think of a single other food except maybe sugar cubes that would be worse for your health. Wait a minute, sugar cubes don't have all that red dye. If you want a better drink thats similer, try iced hibiscus tea (it's bright red and a little tangy) sweeten with splenda or whatever. Serve it just as you would Kool-aid and they might ask what flavor it is but I've never had kids turn it down or think it wasn't Kool Aid.

The problem with Kool Aid is the addition of white sugar.
Everyone wants to sweeten the drink, and it often becomes almost syrupy. THAT IS WAYYY TOO MUCH SUGAR
So, my response is that Kool Aid is NOT good for you, and you are wise to leave it alone.

No, not with all the sugar that most people put in it. It may be a bit better than soft drinks, but lots of sugar makes it bad for you.

No nutritional value whatsoever. Could be useful for replacing fluids to prevent dehydration.
Hope
