Many types of anti-freeze are largely composed of dihydrogen monoxide, should I keep that out of my body?
I'm a big manly man I DRINK DIHYDROGEN MONOXIDE like its water!

I like am lucky that I like water, so i drink it plain and ice cold most of the time, but sometimes I do like a flavor after the first 3 liters, my favorite is the Great Value Raspberry Lemonade0

I say resist the urge..too many chemicals that your body can't process and that kill brain cells. Stick with lemon water or plain water. Natural is always better than artificial. If you must buy them here is a list of best to worst (still not great) http://www.eatthis.com/best-worst-water-enhancers#fref
Just no. Stop fear mongering.
Sorry not fear mongering just informed and someone who prefers to be helpful rather than keep the good information all to myself. To be informed of all opinions and or facts is not to be feared but rather appreciated. You don't know me or my story. I am definitely all about educating and helping other.
So how is saying "..too many chemicals that your body can't process and that kill brain cells" in one post, followed by "So they may or may not be killing brain cells but they are not good for our bodies" in another post supportive of being informed and educating others? I read that as "I don't know, so I'll type scary things", which is actually fear mongering.
I don't know if water enhancers contain things that are bad for me, so I choose not to suggest that they do.
And everybody's got opinions
But nobody's got the answers

Read the ingredients....if you can't pronounce it or don't know what it is, don't consume it. That's my rule of thumb. Plus most have an ingredient called propylene glycol in it.......an ingredient found in antifreeze.....thanks but I think I'll keep this out of my body. But i will admit those enhancers are delicious. My local grocery sells fruit infused water. Only ingredients are h20 and small amounts of fruit.
I paid attention in chemistry and can not only pronounce but 9/10 times know what the chemical is... Lol Don't go drinking that dihydrogen oxide!! That's probably in antifreeze too...

Yeah I don't fish any more. All the rivers are contaminated with dihydrogen monoxide.

That sounds like it came straight off FoodBabe's website. And she's a fruitcake.0 -

I'm not sure where you are getting the information that our body can't process water enhancers or that they kill brain cells, but I am not convinced that natural is always better than artificial. If I had the choice between being stung by a dozen bees (natural) or having a glass of water with a few drops of Mio in it (artificial, in your estimation), I think I'd be drinking some Mio. And I don't even like the stuff.
Lol, I think I'd rather have Mio than be stung by bees..hahaha! I'm just saying our bodies cannot identify some of these chemicals and has no idea what to do with them. So they may or may not be killing brain cells but they are not good for our bodies. Our bodies were meant to ingest natural whole unprocessed foods, as much as we possibly can, in this fake (meaning artificial chemicals) food & drink world anyway. Here is something about safety of artificial sweeteners in the long haul..
'Whether non-nutritive sweeteners are safe depends on your definition of safe. Studies leading to FDA approval have ruled out cancer risk, for the most part. However, those studies were done using far smaller amounts of diet soda than the 24 ounces a day consumed by many people who drink diet soda. We really don’t know what effect large amounts of these chemicals will have over many years.
And there are other health concerns beside cancer. In the Multiethnic Study of Atherosclerosis, daily consumption of diet drinks was associated with a 36% greater risk for metabolic syndrome and a 67% increased risk for type 2 diabetes. Aren’t these diseases that artificial sweeteners may help prevent in the first place? " http://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/artificial-sweeteners-sugar-free-but-at-what-cost-201207165030

You said before they would kill brain cells. Now you say they "may or may not." I'm not understanding what your argument is. Do you believe, as you stated before, that they kill brain cells. When you say we are "meant" to eat certain things, who means for us to eat them?
And if you would rather drink Mio than be stung by bees, what is the meaning of your statement that natural is always better than artificial? You don't believe that?0 -
i use mio and crystal light, though I think I'll buy the minute maid ones next
I hate regular water unless I'm really thirsty. that and plain water seems to irritate my stomach. sharp stabbing pains. add mio to it and no issue. go figure0 -
I squirt lemon slices or lime slices; NUUN sometimes.0
