    @Moonorchidwolf 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +391

    There's a certain threshold where you can still call it "flavoured water" (a splash of juice, crushed mint, etc.), but these recipes have gone well beyond that; it's like calling a marinara sauce "tomato juice".

    • @pamspray5254
      @pamspray5254 หลายเดือนก่อน +15

      Agreed.
      Even just a little of anything added in usually adds a qualifier to the "water" part of its name. A splash of lemon makes lemon water, for instance. Some sliced cucumbers left to soak in a pitcher overnight turns that water into "cucumber water." But, even then, it's mostly considered water. If you really get fancy, water with sliced fruits or herbs in it could be considered "infused water." It's essentially cold-brewed tisanes (fancy word for herbal tea).
      OOH. Realization!
      When you start adding other "cooking" steps, then it becomes not-water! That's why all these people are confused. They think they are just adding one thing similar to adding lemon to water, but they aren't! Syrups HAVE to be cooked down to exist. Tea needs boiling water and steeping and a similar process happens with coffee. Adding a pump or two of a syrup though... On the surface, it doesn't feel like making a drink. Truth is, that cooking step was removed for them but still exists somewhere in the process. I dunno. Just an idea for fleshing this definition out a bit, I suppose.

    I feel like this would be way better if they were making infused water. Instead of pumping their water full of syrup, they could put fresh fruit or vegetables like cucumber, or herbs like mint. Some of them even have some health benefits like lemon water. There are so many recipes for infused water too. It actually stays water as you're not pouring in dyes and tons of sugar. Sure, the flavor is a lot less strong, but it's way more healthy for you and is actually helps to improve your hydration.

      Completely agree! As someone with POTS, I can say that some people can't get hydrated from water alone. They need electrolytes in the water such as tiny amount of salt and sugar (I'm talking REALLY small amount of sugar) for the body to absorb it.
      Also, check your local water chemical levels. Some people are very sensitive to chlorine and fluoride which is often added to tap water to clean it or for "benefits". If your area has a lot of chlorine or is really hard, get filtered water jugs that you refill. I physically can't drink tap water in our city without feeling sick and nauseated, but it's because of the amount of chlorine they put in. Once I switched to filtered water from those big 5-gallon jugs and a water dispenser, water has been far more enjoyable for me. It's always nice and cold, and if I want hot water, it's on tap, too.

      if you don't like it to be sweet, you could also put a teabag of some fruit flavoring into water, I often use like 1-2 bags per liter. it's just enough to hide the weird flavour my tap water at home has. some brands also now make tea with stevia leaves in them if you want it to be a bit more sweet, but I'm not a big fan of the aftertaste of artificial sweeteners

    They're doing everything in their power to avoid just drinking tea. Seriously, I have a birthday cake flavoured tea I bought like a year ago that I still haven't finished because it's so incredibly sweet that I can't have it too often (and it really does taste exactly like birthday cake). It's a loose leaf made up of dates and a few different kinds of leaves. Only natural sugars.
    I cannot fathom how you can go THIS full circle about drinking "healthy" flavoured water and completely ignore the existence of tea. You can have it hot or cold, and it's infinitely less expensive to make than buying a million syrup pumps. Tea actually has health benefits too, it's caffeinated but doesn't dehydrate you like coffee, and it may even help PREVENT cavities by reducing bacteria and acid in your mouth.
    Tea comes in so many varieties and flavours, and unless you've tried every type of tea in existence, "I don't like tea" is simply not an excuse. People who think they don't like tea have probably just tried black tea and assumed all flavoured teas still have a black tea-like flavour. Try blueberry tea once and get back to me, it's sweeter than any soda I've ever had.

      If it makes people feel better to cut artificial or all dyes out, then that's all good people are allowed to do what they want.

    TW// ed
    A little while ago, I actually used to drink flavored water (not as outrageous tho, more like a little squeeze of a lemonade flavor water enhancer) and to call it “water” encourages a… weird mindset. Firstly, I adore plain water, and I drink like a gallon a day, and so my mom got me a water enhancer because it contained sodium in it. Drinking too much plain water, can cause your sodium levels to drop and it can harm you very much, so my mom thought it would prevent me from dying lmao. (That’s why drinks like Gatorade or liquid IVs have sodium, to replenish your body of the sodium it lost from for example running)
    Later on, I developed an ed and I missed juices, sodas, smoothies, and basically any drink that wasn’t water or unsweetened tea. So I would continue using my enhancers pretty frequently so I’d drink more water to prevent me from drinking a simple orange juice, because I did not want to drink my calories.
    So, it’s true, these aren’t THAT harmful from an objective point of view… but many of these syrups and what not, have a very high sodium content, and it’s not like they are drinking just PLAIN WATER to counteract it… because these drinks ARE their water. So, on top of the sugar level some of these have, they’re drinking copious amounts of sodium in one sitting!
    Moreover, if one is struggling with an ed like I was, and resorts to these types of things, it might make them more inclined to drink these mixes in very large amounts to suppress their hunger…. So although not that harmful, the side effects from it CAN affect these people and their viewers…

    I have actually heard that for some people who've had bariatric surgery, plain water can upset their stomach. I don't understand the science behind it, but there are doctors who reccomend sugar free flavor packets to patients who are getting nauseous from plain water. Hydration is super important after bariatric surgery so if the difference between you meeting your water goals and not is a few sugar free packets, I'd say it's probably a good thing that you're drinking water at all.

That stomach gets full very fast, which makes you feel sick. Vomiting is also a lot more traumatic and dangerous for bariatric patients.

    I do wanna help clarify one small thing. If you are nauseus, or highly susceptible to nausea like a bariateic surgery patient, water really will be more likely to make you feel ill or vomit. I forget the specific mechanism but when you are nauseus and drink water it can trigger the vomit reflex (I think its how your mouth waters before you vomit so you accidentslly trick your body into vomiting). This is why when sick, people grab things like gatorade. So yes, I do beleive them about water and nausea.

    If you do not like the flavor or water: may I recommend fruit teas. Most are decaf, and they add a flavor that isn't too strong but are somewhat sweeter and smell really good without any added milk or sugar. There are a lot of options on the market if you go looking. You can prep a lot of it at a time, let it steep for a long time for more flavor (try experimenting with starting with boiling water or room temp, there is a difference). But if you get into more traditional teas (i.e. Chinese teas) which are known to have many benefits, make sure you eat something with them if there is nothing in the tea, cause they can and will make your stomach upset.

I dont know if its a dutch thing though, we have many flavours and theyre actually made for children so they at least drink something. You can provide your own measurements so it isnt sickly sweet and at least for the syrups that we have here, with the intended use it is at least half as sweet as coke for example so its a great step down if you cant go to water instantly!

    So I also had weight-loss surgery and drinking water in the beginning was SO difficult for me. My stomach was reduced to the size of an egg and I was on a liquid diet. I ended up passing out and going to the hospital for fluids because I was dehydrated and my blood pressure dropped. Now I'm three years out and can eat healthy size portions and drink about 100+ oz water a day no problem. But plain water has always been difficult to drink even before surgery. I literally would gag trying to drink plain water. Anywho, I rely on a little bit of mio, crystal light, or zip fizz (vitamin flavoring that's a little fizzy) to flavor my water. I tend to dilute it quite a bit. For example, one packet of crystal light suggests you add it to a 16 oz bottle and I'll add it to a 20+ oz water bottle. That little bit of flavor helps me quite a bit. I can't imagine adding zero free syrup too, sounds way to sweet. Anywho, I lost 135 LBS (from a size 24/26 to a size 10) and kept it off. Drinking water is critical and according to my urologist, adding the bit of flavoring is OK.

      Background in organic chemistry here, just wanna say that there's this thing called 'sweetening power'. Normal sugar has a power set at around 1, while artificial sweeteners are sweeter... way sweeter. I've checked the ingredients of the syrup they used (Skinny syrups), the two main artificial sweeteners they use is sucralose and acesulfame-K. Respectively, the have a sweetening power of 600 and 200, which means they are 600 and 200 times sweeter than normal sugar. With the amount they put and consume, it's safe to say they are, in fact, sugar addicts.

    I cannot stress enough how bad this is for your teeth. Whenever you eat/drink anything with sugar or starch, the bacteria in your mouth will transform those carbohydrates into energy for their cell functions, which generates waste: acid. The acid degrades the enamel of your teeth, causing cavities. While brushing your teeth frequently and correctly to destroy bacterial colonies is very effective to prevent tooth decay, so is consuming food and beverages in intervals of no less than 3 hours: your saliva is a natural buffer solution, working on neutralizing the acids bacteria produce to get back to the slightly alkaline pH of your mouth. The more frequently you eat sugar, the harder it is for your saliva to get back to that alkaline pH, slowly destroying more and more your teeth. Drinking one of these drinks a day? Fine. Drinking these like you would with actual water (8-10 times a day)? Cavities speedrun.

      @@sarahd.4782 Aspartame, although acidic, would not be a problem in itself just like other artificial sweeteners wouldn't: they aren't actually carbohydrates and bacteria will not consume them. However, the acid MAY contribute to noncarious lesions (like erosion) that can cause sensibility of the tooth; a quick Google search tells me that many of these flavoring packets also include lactic acid, further decreasing the pH. Like I said, consuming one or two of these drinks a day is fine, just like drinking lime juice (an acid drink), but consuming it 8-10 times a day like you would with water is not going to be good.
      Regarding alcohol, if you mean alcoholic drinks, yes, these may cause cavities. Alcoholic beverages like beer are made by fermenting the sugars of fruits or grains into alcohol, so the less alcohol it has, the more sugar the drink has; beer has a lower % of ethanol than vodka, and because of that reason it has more sugar than vodka. Ethanol in itself does not cause cavities, though. I would advise against it or at least consuming alcohol with moderation because it is a co-carcinogen, meaning that it increases the risk of oral cancer, especially if you smoke tobacco.
      I would also advise against mouthwashes with alcohol: besides being a co-carcinogen, it weakens the enamel of your teeth and does not distinguish between good and bad bacteria (throwing off the balance of your oral microbiota), while also causing irritation of the oral mucosa.

      It's also definitely to do with taste buds and their sensitivity, plus stomach acidity, plus mineral levels in general. If someone says plain water makes them nauseous, I'd recommend having a small snack or adding a pinch of salt to their water, whereas if someone says they don't like the taste of water, I'd recommend either drinking it ice cold or steaming hot.
      I've been pretty lucky in terms of water quality my whole life, and grew up with only unsweetened teas, water and the occasional juice, but that has not changed the fact that room temperature water is unpalatable for me.

      Heck, there's many different types of mint that you can use to make healthy flavored water too. Orange mint smells great pair it with some fruit and it tastes even better. There's no reason to use this syrupy garbage.

    I just assumed that all of the flavorings were sugar-free, but now looking at some of these, I don't think they all are. I put mio in my water, and that's how I drink water. It's sugar and calorie free but I only put a couple drops. The artificial coloring scares me. These people are drinking more syrup than water lol

      I assumed the same thing, I know the Sunkist packets they used are sugar free cause I keep them in my house when I want something flavored, and I know those skinny syrups were sugar free. I’m assuming these are supposed to be for like hard core sugary soda/juice addicts to take the edge off with the sugar free sugar syrups and zero sugar drink packets.
      That being said just the thought of all the dyes the people using these packets making multiples of these a day is sending me! Also, the thought of drinking cake flavored water is bananas to me, what is the point?!?!? Lol

    The guy with the black sweater is most definitely making fun of the sugar water people. I love it! She doesn't seem to realize that she's encouraging people to do this and saying it's just as healthy as water. That's a problem! Especially if kids are watching.
