There are so many marketing ploys these days for better tasting, cool colors, and vitamin packed waters.
Read your labels! Look for ingredients such as:
Artificial sweeteners like Sucralose and Acesulfame potassium(acesulfame-k)
Food dyes
Polysorbate 60
Crystalline fructose(more damaging than high fructose corn syrup)
Propolene glycol
These, along with some other unsavory ingredients, can wreak havoc on your body. They can result in cell mutation, migrains, seizures, gastrointestinal problems, allergic reaction...just to name few.
Keep your body healthy and money in your pocket by creating your own refreshing water.
-Add lemon or lime slices.
-Green tea; high in antioxidents and contains a protein call Theanine, which mediates the adverse effects of caffein.
-Juice your own veggies and fruits.
