The Not So Healthy Vitamin Water

Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of people drinking the new generation of water, Vitamin Water. This beverage sensation was cleverly marketed through celebrities and was not commercially advertised giving it a more high class brand image. It has been marketed as though it can supply you with all of the important vitamins and hydrate you in a healthy way.

However, despite Glaceau’s claims on vitamin water’s “healthiness”, this beverage contains about the same amount of sugar as a can of coke. A surprising 32 grams of sugar in one bottle will be sure to make any individual looking for a healthy drink  unhealthy in no time. On top of that, you’d find yourself better off drinking a glass of orange juice if you wanted more vitamins than what is in this product. I find this new drink to be a fraud not because of the drink itsself but the way it has been marketed to sound like a healthy substitute for water. It obviously does not have the health benefits it states on the bottle. But because of the clever marketing, many people will call me crazy for thinking that Vitamin Water isn’t healthy.

I would love to have the freedom of knowing if my drink was actually healthy or not. Wouldn’t you?
