Sooo . I was talking to my sister about how much we both love drinking Vitamin Water, especially dragonfruit . So my sister goes, " I heard Vitamin Water was bad for you or something, too much sugar in it, I think? " and my face went like this --> . cause I adoreeeeeee Vitamin Water [even if 50 cent invested in it.] Therefore ! We went online and did research .

Sports Drinks: Winners and Losers
Glaceau Vitamin Water

8 ounces has 50 calories from sugar.

Katz says, "If we had a problem with epidemic malnutrition in this country, a drink such as Vitamin Water might make sense. But since we have, instead, epidemic obesity and diabetes, how about we just leave water alone, instead of using it as a delivery system for sugar no one needs?" Vitamins, he said, are better obtained from food or even a calorie-free supplement.

Glaceau responded by saying, "Artificial sweeteners don't work, and may in fact increase the incidence of obesity. What does work is an all-natural, low-calorie approach, like Vitamin Water."



Vitamin Water was in the losers section :[ . What do you guys have to say about it ? Good or bad ? lol

50 calories aint bad comparing to cola, which is 110 calories. but.... i should refrain myself from drinking it next time....

[hellaspiffyx]

I dont think the calories are that bad. Considering that I dont drink soda at all its a good replacement. I usually just stick to water or Vitamin water[and only one a day].

[SOCKBUNNY]

Too much of anything is never good.
I have no idea what's in vitamin water but.... if it's anything similar to gatorade and other energy drinks, unless you're out there working out to burn those calories, most of the time, drinks like this only adds additional calories to your diet.
Moreover, having too much of certain vitamins can be bad for the body too.

Wait, isn't it kinda wierd that vitamin water has SUGAR in it? That's kind of contradictory then... =/

Either way, vitamin water is nice. I don't drink it often though. So it's all good.

[nymph]

It's not completely horrible, it's not great. It's just marketing strategy because not a lot of people would buy something named sugar water

[ChrisRenHeb]

Vitamin Water actually has alot less sugar than many other products. I am addicted and love it. It is one of the few ways I drink water and get some of my vitamins. And it is not as harmful as my other addiction-Diet Coke.

[mnmadi]

I don't care if it has less sugar than coke, it still has sugar
I'd rather save myself the 150 calories and drink plain water or tea

[chdairkld]

I love vitamin water. I don't drink it for nutritional value, I just think it tastes good!

[Lana]

I prefer just palin water. I dont want the sugar so I pass on the water drinks.

wow. I drink cola all the time so i think vitamin water's better. plus i like the energy one.

[ordinarydaysx]

a good alternative to water is flavored water-- especially flavored carbonated water-- which has no calories no sugar no nothing (except for maybe artificial sweeteners). my body is tricked into thinking that i'm drinking soda when it's basically water =)
