Does anyone use Mio? I use it pretty frequently, but I'm wondering if I'm still getting the same health benefits as drinking plain water, or if I'm counteracting it. Has anyone heard any studies on it, noticed results, etc.?

    Mio is virtually calorie free, use as much as you like

    ETA: It still counts as water.. Now its just water + mio

    By changing the color of your water with Mio, your body is no longer able to recognize it as water and won't process it the same as plain water. I'd avoid it

    Not being a jerk or anything, but how can my body tell what color it is? Why would it process it differently?

    Your body is much more complex then you can imagine, it can do many things you wouldn't think possible. And it would process it differently due to the different color and the chemicals in Mio

    Unless you drink it while you're doing a headstand. Then it's water.

    On a side note...Mio Orange Tangerine and Pinnacle Whipped Cream Vodka/Water is a great under 100 calorie Drink. (Vodka/Water's even less at 70 calories). The local discount stores (Big Lots, 99 cent Stores) have been selling them for a dollar! (still going for $3.99 in the grocery stores!). Big Mio Fan....

    Interesting...not sure about it, but Mio helps my Fiance drink water-he hates plain water. I wonder, if it does change water, if it's worse to not drink water at all, or to drink it with Mio in it.

    The thing I like to ask is "if there is no sugar, yet it changes how the water looks and tastes, what is it REALLY made of, and why the hell would I want to put that **** in my body?"

    Seriously. It's not food, and your body doesn't want it to stay inside itself, so why put it there in the first place?

    It's like Cheese Whiz. It's not cheese, so it must be whiz!

    You just became my new best friend. lol I usually get the Wal-Mart brand - it's a dollar cheaper and it's all the same stuff.

    Look at those ingredients, many of them were not around in Paleolithic times, so our body never adapted to being able to process them. So drink plain water

    Judging by the ingredients label, I'm surprised they're able to market it as "edible"

    I picked Mio because it's made with sucralose. I'm allergic to aspartame, and I don't like the negative effects of it anyway.

    If you put anything in your water that isn't plan water, it reacts chemically with the water so that it's no longer water. I'm surprised you haven't shriveled up and died yet from dehydration.

    A summa cum laude college chemistry major said so last week on this here very site, so I know it's true.

    Mio's key ingredient is propylene glycol, which is closely related to a key ingredient in anti-freeze. Not sure why you would really want to put this into your body.
