So Im just curious because I use MIO or sometimes Crystal Light in my water. Even though these are either zero calories or sometimes 5 cals per serving I notice there are other ingredients in the flavorings. So is it best to just drink plain regular H20 or are the ingridients so minimal that it does not really take anything away from the water?

    Flavored water isn't horrible to drink, but the best thing is just plain water. Anything you put through your body besides ordinary water makes your kidneys work harder and gives you a greater chance to get kidney stones. Not saying you will get them because that is genetic as well, but just another reason to just drink water. Also, the reason you drink water is to filter contaminants from your system. Give up all other drinks and just drink water for a week or two and you will feel tons better.
