Hi Lanie, I just found this in the supermarket. Is it what you said you drank?

----------

Glauceau Vitamin water Zero  (Artificially sweetened)

Ingredients: reverse osmosis water; less than 1% of:erythritol reblana (stevia extract), as natural sweeteners, calcium lactate and potassium phosphate and magnesium lactate (electrolyte sources), citric acid, natural flavors, vitamin C (ascorbic acid), gum acacia, beta-carotene, sorbitol, modified food starch, vitamin B3 (niacinamide), vitamin E (alpha-tocopheryl acetate), vitamin B5 (calcium pantothenate), glycerol ester of rosin, vitamin B6 (pyridoxine hydrochloride), vitamin B12, phosphoric acid

　----------

(I know I posted similar question some time ago but wonder if the following two articles would make you NOT want to buy this ZERO drink?

The following articles seems to say that this Glauceau in "not good" for you (especially - Erythritol; Crystalline Fructose, etc.)

Do you have any opinion on Glauceau Zero or these articles?

Sorry for all the questions about these drinks. Originally, I was just trying to find one without suger, and then I found out if they were without sugar, they contained other "things" that were just as bad.

With all the ingredients, small print you can just about read, etc., I think I will just stick to plain old water, which I've been drinking since my last post. If the water is cold, it's not so bad (as I previously thought it might be).

The fructose probably accounts for the 4 grams of carbs in the bottle.  Again, I don't think it's a good idea for anyone to drink bottles (or even glasses) of this all day long every day all week.  Do you understand what I'm getting at? 

I personally don't think having one bottle a day will harm you, but as one of the articles says we probably don't need those extra vitamins.  If we're eating lots of fresh vegetables, leafy greens and some fruit, we will have our vitamins nice and fresh and if we're taking a multi-vitamin pill, we're covered.

I drink plain old filtered water from our refrigerator with a couple of squirts of lemon.  It's nice and refreshing in hot weather.  Now that it's colder, I like the water not as cold so I let it sit out for awhile. 

And, yes, it's certainly cheaper than buying any of those healthy vitamin zero reverse osmosis drinks and it's better for the environment because there are no plastic bottles to deal with.  We recycle but even so .....
