Is mio liquid safe and healthy?

I have found that if you just start drinking water it becomes a habit.....If you use ice it's better.....I can drink a gallon or more in a day......I've heard that the artificial sweeteners can have basically the same effect as sugar with insulin response and can have some nasty side effects.

By the way, welcome to yakkstr!

sugralose is just plain sugar, so technically it's not good for you. I think the preservatives and dyes are more harmful. If it helps you get more water down (within reason) it would be good for you. I think a couple of yakkstrs already use it and like it. I usually keep a large water bottle filled at my desk and take sips throughout the day.

This totally depends on your definition of safe and healthy...Like uni pointed out, sugar isnt even good for you, as in no nutritional value. But when used in moderation, its totally safe and as healthy as anything else that needs to be eatin in moderation.

Now if your a regular person and not some organic raw vegan, its totally healthy...no different than any other water enhancer, and shitloads better for you than soda or other carbonated beverages.

Im a huge fan of the mio liquid...I have an entire post about it on my blog----> mioreview

Im no scientist and do not know much about dyes and preservatives (other than they are in just about everything)...but I give my toddler mio liquid as an alternative to sugary juices. I guess id rather have him drink more water with some dye and preservatives, zero calories and little sugar, than juice with some dye, preservatives, buttloads of calories and sugar. My whole family drinks the stuff and we looooove it.

welcome to yakkstr :)

My suggestion, just drink water, especially for toddlers ;)

Well yea Reck. But if you dont want water 100% of the time, its a good alternative even for toddlers...Jeewilickers, dont be making me feel guilty for letting remi have mio fruit punch...

thanks everyone. I guess I should drink water, but I'm weak :( Mio seems better than the alternatives.

I was just searching for info on Mio the other day and found a good article Is Mio Bad For You?. It goes into some good detail.

Hey bboy, that's a cool site. I drink a lot of G2 gatorade and they have a post on it, is g2 gatorade good for you?.

Same advice, drink water, but I like it sweet :)

Are you kidding me. Hey YAKKSTER. You got a big glitch in your program.
