"First off, the second ingredient is crystalline fructose!. That’s a fancy word for high-fructose corn syrup, pretty much the worst legal thing you can put in your body!. There’s a ton of it in the drink: about 32 grams and 125 calories (your supposed to eat 0 grams of the stuff a day)!. It’s basically no different as drinking a can of coke, except that it doesn’t taste as good!.
Secondly, it’s made with distilled water!. There’s a lot of controversy surrounding whether or not distilled water is good or bad for you, but I’m not sure I want to put anything in my body that is surrounded by controversy!. Not to mention that the little science I do know logically tells me the stuff is bad: because distilled water is stripped of its minerals (”soft”) it will attract vitamins and minerals from your body and you will expel them!. That would mean vitamin water actually takes nutrients from you!.
Thirdly, there aren’t that many vitamins in it!. Way less than in a glass of orange juice!.
But the thing that mad me maddest about the Vitamin Water was not that it’s bad for you (most bottled drinks are) but that it s advertising is so dishonest and devious!. The drink isn’t “vitamins + water,” it’s a few vitamins + processed sugar + distilled water!. And if ballerinas ran around drinking this stuff as if it were water, they’d have trouble fitting into their tutus!."Www@FoodAQ@Com

Vitamin water is truly bad due to the sugar and other things added!. The best vitamin drink I would drink would be Langers Vitamin Water because it has no high fructose corn syrup, no crystalline fructose, no artificial flavors, gmo free, no preservatives!. also another healthy beverage would be Rudy Beverage because it uses xylitol as its only sugar which decreases the formation of certain bacteria’s and plaque in the mouth as well as respiratory infections, ear infections etc!.
