Question

My friends always tell me that they're bad for you whenever I buy them. So how come they're bad?

Answer 1

they are the worst 'healthy' drink around due to the amount of calories.  

Answer 2

they arent bad, they are gross,

well only some types.  

Answer 3

there not bad for you but they have as many calories as soda!    

Answer 4

I like the Diet Snapple... that probably has that bad fake sugar that causes cancer, but you know what? Breathing causes cancer and I'm not going to stop doing that!

Answer 5

Because many of those "waters" are loaded with sugars.  In terms of calories, some of them are comparable to a Coke or Pepsi,  And they don't have any real nutrition in them.

If you want to drink water, drink water.  Don't drink a sugary beverage and call it "water" just because it's clear.

Answer 10

She says  its bad because the sugar calories and in Vitamin Water possibly snapple.. there is what they call aspartame which causes a lot of things like cancer. I'll give you a website so you see what it can do to your body. If you chew gum stop chewing it for it contains aspartame, anything without sugar and sometimes with sugar. Alot of the signs of graves disease come from aspartame.. please don't think this bogus..

Answer 11

i dont know about snapple but the problem people have with vitamin water is that compared to how they portray there product it is pretty bad.

they make it out like its the best thing in the world for you ("vitamins + water + all you need")  while its actually a bunch of sugar with a few vitamins. compared to your average flavored drink that comes in a bottle its a superfood. it just depends what standard your holding it to.

Answer 17

Calories and sugar.

Answer 18

Because vitamin water and Snapple Products may contain some bad stuff, lots of artificial stuff. If you're looking for vitamins, try natural fruit and vegetables (If available).

Answer 19

I don't believe they are unhealthy, perhaps they are bad on your bank account in that you are paying premium prices for water.  

Answer 20

Answer 21

Answer 22

They are very high in calories and cannot substitute for regular water. Also have lots of added flavoured sugar... often when people drink flavoured water it almost "tricks" your mind into believing that you are getting the proper nutrients...and therefore you may eat less fruit for example.  

Answer 23

Crystalline fructose and high fructose corn syrup are in those and eat your liver from the inside.

Answer 24

they have less requirements of content than tapwater.

Answer 25

Sugar or in French, sucre. It means sugar.  

Answer 26

sugar, sugar, sugar!

Answer 27

what maxine g sed

Answer 28

The amount of sugar in them outweighs any benefits they might have had.

Answer 29

sugar and calories outweigh the benefits from the vitamins you get. You would be better off with water.

Answer 30

A couple of reasons.

They are just sugar water.  Drinking plain water is better for you.

Too much sugar is not good for your bod.

Do you recycle the bottles?  Or are you filling up the landfill?

Cost.  filtered water, or even tap water is cheaper.

Answer 31

Water has no calories and no sugar or additives.  I wouldn't say it's really 'bad' for you but if you are looking for no additional calories then I would stay away from them. If it doesn't matter then try to limit the intake.
