Mio liquid water enhancer

I go back and forth with MIO. I really love the flavors and it does help me get in more water. Buuuut it has artificial sweeteners which I want to get away from. Bottom line, I drink it until I am used to drinking that much liquid a day and then wean myself off it and just do regular water until I can't stand that anymore. It's a cycle.

You might want to read the ingredients on the MIO. I heard that one of them is the same as antifreeze... or in antifreeze. Was on the news once. I threw mine out right then. Not something I wanted to drink.

That was discussed here a few weeks ago - no antifreeze. A different chemical altogether.

There is an ingredient used in antifreeze called Propylene Glycol...that is used in foods...like fake sugars, ice cream, cakes, and sodas.....I beleive MIO and products like MIO use the artifical sweetner that contains propylene glycol...

Those Mio things give me wicked headaches!! (lol) I now use the Crystal Light Raspberry Green Teas YUM!
And I dont get headaches anymore.

I love me some MIO! It's a lifesaver! And I too put it in selter water to have a "soda" with dinner....yum!

I have the black cherry Mio Energy and I love it. I use it almost every day in a bottle of water, but not all day every day because I think that would be too much caffiene haha (and I would prob get sick of it)

I use the peach tea one and the berry one. At least there's no caffeine! Plain water is probably better, but I like a treat now and again. I don't have them all the time.

I don't like the aftertaste so I just put lemon in my water.

All I use in my water is fresh lemons or limes YUM

That's what I use too. The sucralose makes my mouth taste nasty for hours afterwards. No amount of brushing or mouthwash helps

Some days it's the only way I get my water in! I try not to only drink it but my opinion is it's better than me grabbing a can of soda!

Grrrr they have sucralose in them, I'm allergic. Why can't they make a yummy flavouring that doesn't have artificial sweetners?

Same here! Sucralose does a number on my digestive system and I can't think clearly for hours after ingesting it. Its in so many things now, even OTC medications! I had a cold a while back and got some liquid daytime cold stuff (couldn't take pills at the time). I could not figure out why every morning after taking a dose I had to run to the ladies room within a half hour or so. Yep, it had sucralose! I threw the rest away and just waited out the cold. Now, I check everything.

Aspartame doesn't affect me, and I don't get a lot of it daily so I did pick up some of the Crystal light raspberry lemonade. Its pretty tasty.

There is an ingredient used in antifreeze called Propylene Glycol...that is used in foods...like fake sugars, ice cream, cakes, and sodas.....I beleive MIO and products like MIO use the artifical sweetner that contains propylene glycol...

Just because it's used in antifreeze doesn't make it dangerous. One of the ingredients of antifreeze is water. Does that mean you're afraid to drink water?

Sorry everyone...I did not post that to say that I was saying not to use...I use MIO I buy them in the three pack at Sam's...

I was trying to follow up to the previous poster saying she stop drinking it because she heard it had antifreeze in it...I was onlly trying to point out...that it's in all kinds of other things too ...Perhaps she would stop drinking sodas, eating ice cream and cakes with icing...etc etc..

I got what you were saying. Although, I almost posted the water comment myself to the previous poster.

Yes, I like the MIO! I don't use it all the time, but sometimes if I'm sick of water or want something with some flavour, then I use it. I like that I can make the flavour as strong or weak as I want (I usually just use a little). I would still count it towards my water intake.

well its better than Soda.

I love the lemonade and sweet tea ones, my fiancee likes a bunch of the others.

I have a flavor water technique, and I love it!

1 pitcher

2 sliced apples

2 whole cinnamon sticks

and 1 orange

put all ingrediants in the pitcher, fill with water and let sit in fridge for about 2 hrs. Serve over ice! Great alternative for plain water, and it is supposed to be a natural metabolism booster!

(you could use any fruit combo you wanted, and I refilled my pitcher at least twice with the same fruit:)

Hope that helps

I use it all the time.
Most recently started with just a small bit in water in the am...makes it taste like juice for breakfast.

I like a strong flavor, so I don't follow the 1 squirt for 8 oz...more like 4-5 in 16 oz.
But it doesn't have anything in it, so it doesn't matter.

My go to flavors are:
Orange Tangerine
Lemonade (good in Unsweetened iced tea)
Black Cherry energy (though I've never noticed an up in energy because of it)

I log it as water intake
