They don't do anything. But I'm all for tasty water. If it helps you get your water in, I see no harm.0

Often tasty, intersting to do to water and a total crock of hooey when it comes to "detox". A. you don't need to detox. You have a liver and kidneys. B. Even if you needed a detox, detox water wouldn't do a damned thing for you.
Unless you have a drinking problem, then any water is a must for trying to detox.0 -
Buncha hooey.
"Detox" anything is a crock, unless you're talking about being in the hospital on chelation therapy, and then you're very very sick.
If you like water with flavor, drink away. But don't fool yourself that you're doing anything for your body that drinking plain water won't do.

"“Detox” is a case of a legitimate medical term being turned into a marketing strategy – all designed to treat a nonexistent condition. In the setting of real medicine, detoxification means treatments for dangerous levels of drugs, alcohol, or poisons, like heavy metals. Detoxification treatments are medical procedures that are not casually selected from a menu of alternative health treatments, or pulled off the shelf in the pharmacy. Real detoxification is provided in hospitals when there are life-threatening circumstances."
