Flavored Water

Question..

Is adding the lite low/no calorie fruity drink flavors to water just as bad as drinking soda all day, everyday?

It's the only way I can get myself to drink the recommended amounts of water. Most days I'll just get through a glass of plain water and not bother with any more. Does it have to be clear, plain fluid to count?

    I have wondered the same thing. :)

    It's still water even if you add flavor. Some people will disagree - but I have no idea what it would possibly turn into other than flavored water by adding favoring.

    Water is water. I drink flavored seltzer water everyday while I'm at work, helps me to drink more.

    My only problem with the drops is that all of them contain sodium benzoate, which is a sensitivity of mine. There is one brand of flavored/carbonated water that I've found that is free of it: SyFo. When I want something more than just plain water, that's what I go for.
