Vitamin Water is Worse Than Soda

Just because you can buy it @ Whole Foods and it has a name that sounds healthy, Vitamin Water may be one of the most unhealthy beverages on the face of this earth.

Here is my argument.

33 grams of sugar in a bottle. Is this really necessary? If I am not mistaken, we need sugar to live but that much sugar will probably cause major health problems including cardiovascular and liver.

The bad kind of sugar. We've all been warned of the dangers of consuming high levels of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). It's not in Vitamin Water though. A new crystalline fructose is in Vitamin Water. It's basically 99% fructose. HFCS is only 55% fructose. The human body stores fructose as fat.

Soda that has HFCS is not as dangerous as this Vitamin Water that contains crystalline fructose. You better stick with plain distilled water! For those who think drinking Vitamin Water will give them vitamins; you get enough daily vitamins if you follow the food pyramid (fruits, vegetables, dairy, meat).

Vitamin water is a big scam. Their only concern is to sell a cheap product to make big dollars. I went to the Coca Cola museum last summer and sampled 60 different products. Only one of them made me sick. Can you guess which one it was?
