Has anyone heard of or drink vitamin water with any regularity?!


Question:

Has anyone heard of or drink vitamin water with any regularity?

I bought and tried vitamin water for the first time today. Kroger had a sale and I figured, why not. But after reading the ingredients, I was a bit astonished to find out that it is made with what is known as deionized water, distilled, or water purified by reverse osmosis. Now, I've always had the understanding that one should not drink water purified by the method of reverse osmosis because of the absence of minerals [or basically anything else] and how it could leach minerals out of your body by the opposite process used to "purify" the water.

My actual question is, aside from vitamins [mostly B vitamins] being put into this water along with sugar, fruit juices, and preservatives, is it safe to drink this stuff?


Answers:

I don't think it would be detrimental to your health to drink it sometimes, as long as you aren't going overboard with it (like don't use this as a substitute for regular water, you still need plain water). The only thing that I would be nervous about is getting too MANY vitamins, you know?
I don't like the fact that they call it Vitamin WATER. Water is not translucent, it isn't colored, and it doesn't have calories, you know? Vitamin water has over 100 calories per bottle, and its sweetened with fructose which isn't bad if you consider it a soft drink, but if you consider it water, then its not that good....
Everything is ok in moderation. You most likely won't have any problems with the lack of minerals unless you're drinking bottle after bottle of it every single day.....
