Well, yes. That’s all true. But in my defense, I only drink the “Zero” flavors, so I won’t go into a diabetic coma from sugar. I probably will get cancer from the artificial sweeteners, but let’s not split hairs. I really pace myself on them. One bottle takes me 3-4 days to finish. In moderation, I think I should be fine. But, yeah, if you were replacing water with Vitamain Water? That would be nutso.
