Corporations trying to pass off things as healthy
posted by: Tony
Corporations that try to pass off harmful foods as being healthy piss me off. Example: Vitamin Water. If you check out the ingredients on Vitamin Water you’ll see Crystalline Fructose.
Crystalline fructose is produced by allowing the fructose to crystallize from a fructose-enriched corn syrup. The term “crystalline fructose” is listed in the ingredient statements of foods and beverages using this corn sweetener. It is important to understand that the “crystalline fructose” listed as an ingredient comes from cornstarch, not fruit. It has also been speculated that crystalline fructose can have an overall negative effect on your liver if digested over the period of years.
They say Crystalline fructose is even worse than High Fructose Corn Syrup, which is very bad for you. Vitamin Water is the exact opposite of a Health food drink.

you dumb beezy vitamin water and glaicou have both commited to making their crstlalline fructose out of FRUIT and not just corn syrup so you just shut up vitamin water is the best drink ive ever had is kills soda as far as health issues go but its still kinda sugary but im a skinny kid so i can burn the extra calories i gain when i drink it…. hydrate responsibly

actually….high fructose corn syrup isn’t that bad if you don’t eat a ton of it. And i’m pretty sure that vitamin water is better for you than alot of things like soda for instance…..

Bailey & Extol you are both retards. high fructose corn syrup is completely bad for you. It destroys the chemical in your body that tells it its full and also leads to high cholesterol. You both either work for those sleazy companies that try to get people addicted to fatty foods, or you are a complete moron asshole

high fructose corn syrup is why most Americans are obese and is why its the fattest nation. Vitamin Water is a shitty drink that is so bad for you its funny they had the guts to call it Vitamin Water

Tony I would not be surprised if this was teh case. I mean having something like vit water is so cliche. Deluding people into thinking that it has vitamins therefore has to be good. Although, alcohol has a much sever effect on the liver too. That’s all I wanted to put in there. Must say though, the language up on here is kind of unecessary, no?

ummm…. first people should take all things in moderation (dont drink too much of anything except maybe good old fashioned water), secondly it is SIGNIFICANTLY better than soda and most juices, thirdly you keep saying “they say” which tells me you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. I’m not going to say it is a health drink, but I will say its better than soda and actually has more vitamins and minerals than most juices. A bottle a day won’t kill you.

Vitamin water does not contain crystalline fructose. Unless your allowed to not post the ingredients on the label. at least cdn. does not have it.
September 21st, 2009 at 3:32 pm
wow, where did you learn to read, it says crystalline fructose right there on the label

well no shit, this is about Vitamin Water sold in the US, go drink your canadian vitamin water and stop acting like they don’t have crystalline fructose in it in the US.
September 22nd, 2009 at 12:00 pm
well no shit? it said nothing about US. sales. Im not acting like they don’t have crystalline fructose in it in the US. Maybe ask yourself why they have it in the US. and why they don’t in Canada.

If you guys will actually do some looking… different types of Vitamin water have different types of sweeteners. Some have the crystalline fructose, and some do not. The point is, this is still a much better alternative than pop.

yea so what. a punch in the face is also better for you than soda. That has nothing to do with the fact that a corporation is trying to pass off Vitamin Water as being healthy when it is not.

Why doesnt everyone just fucking agree that A: It has crystaline fructose in it. B: that it is still alot better for you than soda, eventhough it is being passed off as a much healthier drink than what it is. and C: its just an opinion if its bad for you or not. you cant just say something is bad for you, without comparing it to something else. yes its bad for you, compared to water. but it is good for you, compared to coke or some other sugar filled drink

Because is worse than soda. Soda has high fructose corn syrup which is very bad. Vitamin Water has crystaline fructose which is extremely bad. Also I like what Paul said even though Vitamin Water is worse than soda “yea so what. a punch in the face is also better for you than soda. That has nothing to do with the fact that a corporation is trying to pass off Vitamin Water as being healthy when it is not.”
