VitaminWater Health-Claim Lesson: Read Labels
Reader Comments
Yada,Yada,Yada
I read every label before I consume something with a label and Im well aware of whats on the bottle. However, I have chosen to not drink sodas for many years, finding them too sweet and diet sodas full of chemicals and bad, bad taste. I find the vitamin water to be a wonderful alternative for anything out there. Less sweet, 0 fat, 0 sodium and clean and fresh to drink. Its not overly flavored. Awesome stuff! And if it has any nutrients, all the better!

I am a diabetic and need to watch carb intake. I purchased a bottle and could not find any reference to ammount of carbs . I assumed it does not have any or low amount of carbs but 2 hours later my blodd glucose was high enough to send me to a hospital. I emailed them 3 times now (company) ans had zero, nothing , zip responce from them. I can't believe this product is on the shelfs in Canada where it is mandatory to have labels on foods
I will be contacting health canada regarding htis

Vitaminwater???
Thank YOU thank You and again.. Tje same trickery is on the label from Oceanspray and their so called nutritonal drinks. their labeling is deceptive and the FDA knows this , but does nothing to regulate them. Try reading 1. As for nutrition I am a formulater and patent holder for the highest nutritional product in the world that is in an electrolite state with over 46% protein . The frame work needs to be mineral for amino acids to be present with the help of natural bacteria and then vitamins being the last in the chain, from nature. My knowlege comes from agriculture and my product is produced by a plant that I feed nutrients to, than extract under temperature sensative conditions and then preserved in the same manner . I have USDA lab reports attesting to my claims 24 minerals 16 amino acids and 15 vitamins . you can reach me below thank You again
it's just good branding
i don't think they're making unrealistic claims. it's sugar and water and a few molecules of vitamins. the "health claims" are just part of a branding effort, according to these people: http://onthebutton.wordpress.com/2009/06/18/vitamin-water/
Yes, a stupid tax
YES TAX EVERYONE WITH STUPID opinions... like the one suggesting to tax sugar, below.
Good point
"The salmonella bacteria currently poisoning people across the country is technically 'natural,' since it is alive and does indeed come from nature, but you wouldn't want to ingest it."
