We know the best way to get vitamins, minerals, and nutrients is to eat plenty of ripened, raw fruits and vegetables, not by drinking some water that may or may not be 'fortified.' Even foods that are 'fortified' are not even close to as good as the real thing. Well Coca Cola has not only received heat for the claims that were being made about their Vitaminwater, but they have not denied it. In fact, they admitted that it is not healthy. The best beverage that you can drink is good ol' fashioned water. Here's more about what happened in court with Coca Cola -
Coca-Cola Company accepts in the court that much publicized and marketed “vitamin water” is not really a healthy drink. Coca cola heavily marketed vitamin water brand drink, claiming it to be a healthy beverage. The reality seems to be contrasting as the drink in reality may be sugar water bastioned with few vitamins to go along with.
The revelation came when coca cola admitted in court in united states that it’s not as healthy as it is claimed to be; and district Judge John Gleeson in his ‘55 page ruling’, allowed the consumers to file a lawsuit against the makers of vitamin water for making false claim for its marketing and thus violating ‘FDA’ food fortification and guidelines of naming the product.
Coca- Cola in response has aggressively tried to dismiss the lawsuit claiming that “no consumer could be misleading in assuming that the vitamin water was a healthy drink”. The lawyers for Coca -Cola wittingly did not oppose the lawsuit on the factual ground but tried to dismiss it on the basis of its technicality. more...
Comments: This is not by any means the unhealthiest beverage that Coca Cola brings to the market. Without giving it much thought, I can't think of any beverage that they offer that are healthy. When it comes to getting proper hydration, nothing beats having water. Next best: fruits and vegetables. Why? Because they're packed full of water, not to mention plenty of nutrients that provide the antioxidants for supporting good health and preventing sickness and disease. Of course, with so many people lacking the minimum recommended number of fruits and vegetables each day, we recommend adding Juice Plus+ to get more nutrients from a variety of those foods.
