If you use MIO in you water it doesn't count?

Um, what exactly does caffeine have to do with sugar? My coffee has 100 mg of caffeine, and no sugar in it. Are you sure you've thought this through?:huh: Coffee doesn't have any sodium in it, either, other than what's naturally occurring in the water you brew it with.

Also, 30mg of sodium is not "loaded." Your body wouldn't even notice an extra 30mg. It's insignificant on its own.

Also, sodium does not equal salt, just like hydrogen does not equal water. There are hundreds of salts that contain no sodium at all.

I think this is the problem with these kinds of threads, people don't understand basic chemistry.

Here's one way to look at it.... if you drank the glass of water and then squirted the Mio into your mouth a few moments later, wouldn't you count the glass of water? Of course you would. Same goes for coffee because people certainly can, and do, eat coffee beans.

Humans need about 64 ounces of water each day but a lot of that water comes in our food and every beverage has some amount of water in it. You don't really need to drink 64 ounces of pure water every day for healthy body function.

That said, most of us can really do with drinking more water each day and if what helps you is to add a little Mio to it, then go for it. Don't let the "you can only drink plain water for it to count" nazis deter you.

I am in a weight management progam at the Hernreid Medical Weight Loss Center. I aksed my doctor there, just yesterday, if putting MIO or Crystal Light in my water still counts for my daily intake of water. She told me that it does. She went on to say that anything that doesn't contain caffeine or carbonation counts as water intake, so decaffeinated tea or coffe does count but regular coffee or tea does not. She also said I could even put bullion in water, to help me feel satisfied, and that would even count. So to answer your question, MIO in your water does count as water intake.

OK, I don't buy it, but my sister in law says if you put MIO drops in your water you can't count the water as water anymore. I disagree....

Which way do you fall on this?
