    I use Mio, I'm not dead, and I'm still losing weight. I could think of a lot worse to be adding to my water. :-)

    I just copy/pasted the ingredient list - why wouldn't they just label it water? Regardless, My reasoning still stands.

    Not questioning your reasoning. You're absolutely right to take your stand against artificial whatevers.

    For me, there's so much "artificial" in my life that an ounce or 2 of mio a week is nothing.

    As to the original question, there's nothing in mio that makes the water you put it in no longer water.

    Propolyne Glycol is what they use in anti-freeze. It is also used in some food to keep them soft.

    I think that it's up to you what your fitness goals are. My motto is everything in moderation. Some choose to eliminate all artificial sweeteners from their diet. At the end of the day, if the MIO is going to help you with your water intake -- go for it. I wouldn't overdo it though.

    Not this again.....

    It is used in NON-TOXIC antifreeze to make it NON-TOXIC.

    It's used in a TON of stuff.

    I still would not recommend it. Ultimately, it's still up to the individual.

    I personally prefer a shot of lemon or lime juice. They also make TRUE LEMON AND TRUE LIME packets ( crystallized) that add no sweeteners or calories- just some ZIP. ( BTW, they're also great in plain yogurt and cooking)
