Vitamin Water has become quite a cultural phenomenon over the past year or so. It seems to especially be popular within the straight edge/hardcore community, at least in Columbia.
Vitamin Water tastes delicious, but it is not nearly as healthy as the marketing would lead you to believe.
For one thing, most Americans don't have a vitamin deficiency to begin with. This doesn't mean extra vitamins aren't healthy, but the truth is that a lot of those vitamins aren't being absorbed by your body. The other main issue is that Vitamin Water has 32.5 grams of sugar per bottle. Not only does this make the drink somewhat addictive it also adds calories. Water is one of the few things we consume that has zero calories, but the magical Vitamin Water actually has up to 130 calories per bottle.
Anyways, if you really feel that you need to drink your vitamins, maybe you should try the new Activate Drinks.
These drinks are similar to Vitamin Water but vitamins are actually stored in powder form inside of a chamber in the bottle cap. Before you open the drink, you turn the cap and the powder dissolves into the water. These drinks are also more expensive than Vitamin Water, so I'm sure they'll be all the rage.[via Uncrate]
