I don&#8217;t like coffee, though when I <a title=\"Learn Spanish\" href=\"https:\/\/tripinsurancestore.com\/blog\/how-to-learn-spanish-easily-and-cheaply-in-guatemala\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">lived in Guatemala<\/a>, I liked the coffee plantations&#8217; aroma. Nor do I particularly like tea, though I drink tea now and then.<\/p>\n<p>I like plain water. It might be because I&#8217;m cheap. Or it might stem from the fact that I don&#8217;t trust food companies to always act in my best health interest. I&#8217;m not paranoid enough to think they want to do me in (bad for future business), though.<\/p>\n<p>So, I was pleased to find Jill Weisenberger&#8217;s article &#8220;Vitamin Waters: The Unhealthy Truth&#8221;. I specifically found out the truth about <em>Special K2O Protein Water<\/em>. I&#8217;ve bought these and similar products because the 5 grams of fiber and protein were appealing to me.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s how Jill starts her article:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Today&#8217;s waters are touted as vitamin-enriched super-drinks. So what&#8217;s the truth? Can they improve your health? We separate the facts from phony pitches.<\/p>\n<p>Burn calories! Have more energy! Boost memory! Water can change your life&#8217; according to their manufacturers. It&#8217;s a claim that has gotten Coca-Cola, maker of Glaceau Vitaminwater, into hot, er, water. The company was sued for deceptive marketing practices about its popular line of fortified waters, though Coca-Cola has dismissed the claims as an &#8220;opportunistic PR stunt.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s just one type of water. Others are supposedly enhanced with fiber, protein, caffeine and mood-boosting herbs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I hope this makes sense.
