Last night I made a quick run to our local K-Mart for some bottled Water. I noticed a "10 for $10" sale sign for a new type of flavored water. I checked the nutrician label and there's NO sodium, NO carbonation, NO sweetners.... and best yet - NO calories! So I spent the $1 (comes in a 4 pk) so I could test this new product out (at least its new to me).

Let me say that Im NOT into ANY of the flavored waters (not even tea). The only time I even add lemon to my water is when Im at a restaurant (it takes away the tap flavor).

It taste just like my aquafina bottled water - with a dash of lime or orange squeezed in. Nothing special. No artificial sweetner hang-over, nothing. Just plain water with a little flavor.

Here's the ingrediants:

purified water, nautral flavor, ascorbic acid (vit C), citric acid, Calcium lactate, magnesium sulfate and potassium phosphate.

and here's the link to the company:

To all the LBT naturalist, Im really curious to see if any of you have found a secret no-no in this stuff.

My 10 year old LOVED it (all 3 kids did) - and Im trying hard to give him as many good and natural food items as possible.

So, tell me what you know about this stuff...

There's nothing in the list that's harmful and if your kids love it, that's wonderful.

Just a thought maybe you can check CBS or NBC news on line Can't remember which station the news report was on. They mentioned there was a problem found with some drinks that contain ascorbic acid when exposed to light. It can change to some form of Benzine. I didn't listen too closely so I can't give you any more info than that. Hopefully you can find something on their websites. It seems everyday they tell us something else that is harmful to us, and next week it will be perfectly fine. Go figure.

Thanks Elizabeth and Roberta for responding.

I did find it a bit odd that it says to "refrigerate after opening".... hmmmm.
