Vitamin Water

[CarolinaKip]

Does anyone drink the line of vitamin waters? Wondering if this would be a added boost to my diet.

They make me gassy but I think it's the sugar substitute that bothers me. I drink the SoBe Lifewater with no problems though.

I do sometimes.

Vitamin Water is gluten free. It's really just fancy sugar water, though, so if you're looking for vitamins, I'd get some vitamins. (I use it in place of Gatorade - times when I am specifically looking for the sugar.) (The sugar free version is then just artificially flavored fancy water. I'd stick with water.)

Vitamin waters are just overpriced bottled water. See the recent lawsuit against Vitamin Water because the claims on the bottle are a load of crap:

Before you start thinking Vitamin Water is healthy, have a look at this article. A Federal judge ruled that the health claims on Vitamin Water were misleading. The stuff is basically sugarwater with a trace of vitamins as a marketing ploy.

If you want vitamins, get a good multivitamin and mineral supplement, or eat nutrient dense foods like berries, greens, and bean sprouts. The drink called Emergen-C is good for B and C vitamins too.

I allow my daughter one of these per day. At first I objected, but... I have a super hard time getting her to eat her vegetables or take her vitamins. So I finally decided that at least with these she is getting some vitamins. Probably not the right ones though. She is very picky and will only drink the pink ones. Not sure what they have in them. She is only allowed to have the Zero kind. The kind with no calories.

Have you looked at the gummy vitamins? They're a pretty good alternative for picky kids and I'm pretty sure I saw some that were gluten-free. My nephews are really picky and that's about the best way to get vitamins into them.

I drink them occcasionally because I get tired of water, water and more water! They go well with the Snyders pretzels.

I believe that Juice Plus gummy vitamins are gluten free.
