What do you think of it? I drink double the amount of water since I bought it :] I mix of plain through out the day and some mio when I need some flavor. Makes my sweet tooth go away too!

What do you guys think? Yay or nay?

    I thought it would be great for when i was sick of water after 12-15 cups, but, doesn't like my stomach and the fact its a chemical, i skip it and stick to lemon or lime in my water, or even cucmber slices are good.

    If you are sensitive I understand!

    But whats the problem with it being a chemical? Is it a bad one?

    Apparently, its got something to do with Chlorine. i am not sure, i know if my tummy didn't dislike it so much, i would have it occassionally, but not often as it is artificial.

    I LOVE MIO but I got some crybaby teeth and the sugar sweetness actually hurts my teeth after awhile I can't even drink the stuff.
    Definitely not for me but I did love the taste.

    I really like it :) Doesn't give me headaches the way that some other drink flavorings do.

    If it agrees with your system and you use it in moderation, great! Artificial flavors, though, aren't great for your system (they mess with your metabolism as well as your body's digestive process, etc.) and so should be used minimally.

    I use it when I get sick of water. Usually a glass or two of it a month. I think it tastes decent.

    I think it tastes like crap. Crystal light is much better.

    I like the strawberry flavor. I drink it when its super hot and I know I should hydrate extra. However, it is SUPER sweet. I don't drink pop at all. All you need is like a quick squirt and you have enough, so you can dilute it as you please. One bottle is supposed to be 24 servings or something.

    Mio rules! My wife and I use it all the time. I have two bottles of it right here on my desk at work, and there are several in the cabinet at home.

    There is no chlorine in Mio, so I'm not sure what the poster further above is talking about.

    Mil is made out of potroleum based chemicals and has recently been under investigation for possibly skirting the full testing phase on the chemicals used. I would recommend squeezing a lemon or orange into your water or soaking cucumbers. Tasty and natural

    It isn't something I would spend money on, but if it helps wean people away from pop and perhaps toward water with no flavoring at all, I think that's pretty cool.

    1) This is not true.
    2) Even if it was, the amount of Mio you use in a glass of water is not enough to affect anything about your digestive system.

    I live on Crystal Light...it's the way I stay hydrated.

    I thought I'd love Mio, and they had a Watermelon flavor. I <3 watermelon, but my god that stuff was terrible. Into the trash it went :(

    Source please. I find nothing on the internet saying Kraft (maker of Mio) is under investigation for any such thing.

    Edit: Also, petroleum based chemicals? What are you on about? Quit making up FUD.

    I use the Walmart Brand and love it! I am not a fan of plain water.
