Anyone like these 'enhanced' bottled waters? Some are vitamin infused, others claim a higher pH promoting a more alkaline diet.

Growing up we just had two choices: hose or faucet. Now there's seemingly endless possibilities.

Modern snake oil, or a smart choice?

I much prefer coconut water if I must have anything other than plain water.

Bah humbug, I don’t drink water, fish @#$& In it!

I look at these so called "smart water" products as on shelf instantaneous intelligence tests.

For the taste or perceived health benefits?

I prefer to use a water bottle that I refilled from my tap.

Saves pollution and saves money for the same product.

i drink the bottled water that tastes the best to me. Some is softer than others which is pretty obvious. Im not a fan of soft water. Im assuming the different Ph / minerals is where they taste different. I prefer icelandic water.

Tap water tastes gross

Where does your tap water come from? If it’s a river, it is likely flavored by wastewater discharges. IMO, water is best when the source is a deep well in a limestone aquifer. There is a lot of sweet tap water from deep wells.

Whenever I am in doubt of a local area's drinking water, I'll usually opt for a beer (although there are inherent limitations to this practice). Not sure of its vitamin content or pH but there's probably some residual yeast properties.

As far as 'smart water' and it benefits are concerned, a control group would be required to validate its overall merits. Perhaps one group drinking the branded 'smart water' and the other a placebo (i.e. tap water from Mexico).

When I start seeing 'tap water' show up as a common cause of death for people, I'll consider switching my water drinking habits. Till then, don't see a reason to fix what ain't broken.

Wesley Crusher · 12 January 2018, 03:41 AM

I drink a lot of sparkling mineral water. Gerolsteiner is my favorite.

KrismanX · 12 January 2018, 03:49 AM

Never a fan of soda, so if I buy a drink at a gas station or convenience store it's either a "good" water (Fiji, Evian) or maaaybe a Naked/Bolthouse.

Whole Foods has some great tasting in-house still/sparkling water to go. Been meaning to test out Gerolsteiner, now that you mention it.

and to address the health benefits...I just like being hydrated, and some water tastes better than other water. Now the "vitamin-infused" flavored water based beverages are just a no for me.

locutus49 · 12 January 2018, 03:54 AM

H3 water - allegedly ionized water - is a scam. It is like homeopathy, it won't hurt you, but you are paying for nothing.

If you like a strong mineral taste, you’ll love Gerolsteiner.

Does it make you smart, or do you start smart and it makes you daffy?

Thank you for doing your bit to aid our massive plastic waste in our Oceans, We all need to address this huge problem.

But i fear it maybe all to late... With our own UK Government promising change by eradicating all avoidable plastic waste by 2042... REALLY
