ok so this is not another post about hating water :-D I have just recently started drinking water with different fruits, herbs, and veges infused into it. My question is.... does the fruity water have the same health benefits as plain water? Is anyone an expert on this?

    It has all the benefits/detriments of the water plus the fruit. I only say detriments because some well water can be funky and I dn't know what you are drinking. It will surely hydrate you as well as plain water.

    I throw a few frozen berries in mine once in awhile. It is still water, plus the fruit.

    Don't waste your money on special water. Tap water is completely healthy, with a couple of caveats:

    Water flavoured with fruit and veg? How can that be bad? Bacterial contamination?
