Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Nutrition?
they basically say "vitamin water" to throw you off course.
its just like an energy drink. you should only drink it if you're running track, soccer, or anything that really gets your body pumping. it has extra sugars and sodium you don't need if you're not working out.

Well, Vitamin Water is a good concept except that one serving doesn't give you all the vitamins you need. First, not all of the vitamins we need are water-soluble. Some are fat soluble. Those aren't included in the vitamin water. Then the vit water doesn't contain 100% of the daily recommended allowance of everything. The ones which are in megadoses, like C, often can't be absorbed or used, so they're excreted. I had a college professor who said that if you have a good diet, taking a multivitamin merely gives you the ability to make expensive urine.
Really, there's no substitution for eating well. If you don't eat well, vitamin water can help out a little. But there are calories and carbs (sugars) in it, so you can't just drink that stuff all of the time.

It's not any worse than gatorade, calorie for calorie. And you don't see people spazzing out about Gatorade, right?
It's just been in the news lately because people are drinking it thinking it's some miracle health drink with no calories. [125 calories per bottle]. That's half of what's in regular soda, though, so it's better for you than a lot of other things people drink.
So as long as you know that you're consuming calories and sugar, and it's not ALL you drink or replacing your multivitamin, you're fine :) Don't worry about it.
