(1,232 posts)be flavored which adds a little sugar, and there's nothing wrong with that. Sugar isn't bad for you in moderate amounts, it's the processed crap it's cloaked in that does the damage.
Now that I think of it, maybe I'll start blending the coconut water with sparkling water and OJ.
Flavor your own sparkling waters! By allowing the giant corps to do it for you, you get chemicals and crap that are bad for you. Add lemon slices, orange and lime slices. I mix it with fresh squeezed juices of all sorts, mostly orange juice over ice, wow and major yummy. And hey, if you add a bit of gin or vodka, well yee hah!
In restaurants on a hot day, I'll order fresh squeezed orange juice and a bottle of sparkling water and ice. I put the juice over ice, and start adding the sparkling water as I drink it down and it's melting. Just wonderful!
All the commercially prepared juices benefit by adding sparkling water to them.
