Question

Why is "vitamin water" called vitamin water if it tastes bad AND has as much sugar and calories a COKE?

Answer 1

Because they add vitamins into it.  It's actually not quite as bad as a Coke but it is still pretty sugary.  You are better off getting your vitamins and minerals from foods anyway!

Answer 2

because it has vitamins that help your body...but your right the sugar balances it out and pretty much defeats the purpose of drinking it. :)

Answer 3

Well its because they want you to think its healthy but it has more calories than other "health drinks"

Answer 4

you have to take in account the type of sugar it is the vitamin water has crystalline fructose which is a good suger almost all sodas have high fructose corn syrup which is very bad for you.... the body cannot naturally digest it and it goes through your body creating fat because it doesnt breakdown thats y its so bad same with diet except it has a chemical that causes cancer... its what splenda is so in reality vitamin water is good for you and u get alot of nutrience from it

Answer 5

Hey it does give vitamins, it just supplies calories with that.

But people, realize that Soda/Vitamin Water is actually pretty low on calories.  Without doing anything, if you just woke up and starred at the sealing, in bed, you burn around 1500 calories.  You can easily burn 2000-2500 calories a day, if you lead a healthy life with excercise.

Not to mention it stays true to the name, it gives Vitamins

It never says it is good for you, I mean it isnt called Good Water

Answer 6

I like the taste there are all kinds of flavors and I don't find it sweet at all plus I like the fact that it has vitamins in it,  coke will just eat away at you stomach

Answer 7

cuz ppl believe anything they see on tv

Answer 8

Just because they put some vitamins in means they can sell it and make it off to be a really healthy drink that the average person would have without thinking...this is unfortunately why we should always check up and research what we drink/eat...

Answer 9

Idk because I like vitamin water but I think coke is bad... so for me it's the other way around. I am going to agree that vitamin water has vitamins and stuff but coke doesn't.
