If you add the Crystal Light packets to your bottled water, is it the same as regular water?

Yes, it's the same as regular water, just adds flavor, you know at HEB they have flavored water, lemon, strawberry, peach all different kinds of water with 0 calories, look into that, there good...

i think most tap water contains fluoride, something bottled water companies filter out. seems that tap water is actually more regulated than bottled water.

No, it's not as good.  Water means plain old water without any flavouring whatsoever.  Any type of substitute you add to water to enhance the flavor will have empty calories and other ingredients which are not productive for your health and weight loss.  The key to weight loss is to maintain a daily calorie deficit and sugar or artificially based products will only may it harder to acheive this goal.  It's not worth the extra little taste you get out it.\n\nTo main a calorie deficit, use this calculator for a rough assessment of your total energy requirement:\nhttp://www.preventdisease.com/healthtools/articles/bmr.html

They're almost identical, if you look at the ingredients.  They both have caffeine in them, to speed the absorption into your bloodstream (so does Excedrin, by the way).  So depending on the person, that may not be a good thing.

Check out this report on bottled water and then determine which is better. I personally like the 365 brand from Whole Foods Market. I can taste the difference. There is no bad aftertaste.

It depends on the density of the liquids... think about this... 1 liter of water weights less than 1q liter of quicksilver or one liter of maple syrup... the density changes the weght of the liquid by volume.

A few things first:\nPure water can mean two things: Actual pure H2O, or distilled water, with no minerals or anything but water. Bottled water is really either spring or tap water that has been filtered.\n\nYou don't want to drink only distilled water. I've tried it, and due to the lack of minerals that are found in either bottled or tap water, I experienced severe muscle cramping all over my body within 1 1/2 days. Generally, people receive the necessary minerals for their body to work properly through water. Removing those minerals causes deficiencies, which makes your body not function properly.\n\nDrinking enough bottled water or tap water (there is a difference, but it is only minor in the US) is necessary because: 1. Your body is made up of over 70% water, and it is required to keep your body function properly. 2. Water helps the body remove waste. 3. It provides the necessary minerals that are so hard to get from any other source.\n\nIf you do not drink enough water daily, the results can be dehydration, a build up of toxins and waste within your body, and if severe enough, is a cause of death.\n\nGenerally, tap water is tested regularly by the local, state, and federal governments, and is safe to drink. Some countries prefer bottled water because the tap water is not safe to drink. This is not the case in the US.

They probably are used for the same thing, but in the first, the water molecules are part of the crystal and found in repeated and regular levels.\n\nIn the interstitial, the water molecules may not be present in the same level in all the crystals and the level can not be predicted.

It will always depend on teh source of fresh water.\n\nContmination is a big factor in answering the harmful part of the question.\n\nRunning water is safer but not 100% safe.\n\nAs long as your using a clean and reused drinking bottle you should be fine on that end.

spring comes straight from the ground, purified has chemicals, sparkling gets into your body faster but has gas added like a sodastream, distilled means its been boiled which is the cheaper option. It depends whether you live in a hard or soft water area. Your best bet is to buy a filter like e.g. a britter etc you will be suprised when you need to change the filter , the crap that comes out of your tap. But as for your question spring water is the best as it has all the trace elements youre body needs. Beleive me. I'm a trathlete plumber.

There is a difference between Distilled water and drinking water. Distilled water is pure water that have been used in batteries. We drink mineral water that contains some chemical compounds which is essential for normal health. We do not drink distilled water. Normally, lead-acid battery uses Distilled water. Using Mineral water in the battery will spoil your battery. \n\nDrinking every time with distilled water will not provide the chemical compounds that are essential for your normal health. Drinking distilled water every time will spoil your health.

I like Tap water! We have very good tap water here and it is better and cheaper for you! It has fluoride in it already!(which is important for your teeth!)

Hello\n\nI hope you are feeling better soon.\n\nIt does not seem to be a major concern.  Just something to note if you are having urine tests while taking.\n\n- (cited below) While crystalluria has been observed in some intravenous rat studies, urinary crystals are not formed in the bladder, being present only after micturition and are not associated with nephrotoxicity. \n\n- (cited below) It is tempting to associate crystals with a risk of urolithiasis, but the majority of patients with a crystalluria do not have and will not develop kidney stones.\n \nGet better soon :-)

They're both basically the same, but crystal has added components that make it more clear.

Anything bottled by law MUST be dated and by law again it has to have a date on it in case of recall... it is actually a smart move on the actions of the bottle, water makers to have this..and keep others in the clear...you will find that some strains of ecoli have been found in batches of bottled water....now I hope that this explains it! Ultimately it is for the protection of the seller and the consumer. Check to see which water company has the best reputation for NO lawsuits and take it from there.\nThanks and Cheers!\nLioncourt
