Is flavored water as good for you as regular water?

Answer 1

in a sense it may have more minerals, but it also may have citric acid, which overtimes erodes teeth...

Answer 2

Generally, no. If you look at a lot of the 'Vitamin Waters' that are out on the market today, they pack about 50 calories per serving--and there are roughly 2.5 servings per bottle. Flavored waters like Fruit20 are sweetened with sugar substitutes, which can make your body crave the sugar you aren't consuming. They're better for you than diet soda, but not as good for you as plain old water.

To quote George Carlin: "If you flavor water, it's a soft drink."

Answer 3

It cannot be AS good for you, it has sugar or some additive, but compared to soda or even juices and any other carbonated drink...go right ahead. Way better for you. Iced tea, made by yourself, is the best flavored drink, in my opinion. No sugar, unless you add it, and small amounts are fine, extremely refreshing and tastes great. You can brew Lipton or herbal teas, black teas, or green teas, the recipe should be on the box (or on the web if all else fails). Def. add sugar to taste (I prefer it plain though sweet tea (tea with lots of sugar) tastes way better than soda and is probably better for you in the long run than soda, though barely).

Answer 4

not likely, the things they usually put in flavored water to make it taste good is sugar, which eliminates the health factor.

Answer 5

Depends on what is flavoring it. I usually avoid water flavored with urine or dioxins.
