Junk food is addictive and alters your brain. It's not by choice,Why do so many people need flavoured water?
It blows my mind that people are incapable of drinking still water and they need someone to help them not drink soda. What happened to us?

Huh? Thats like saying your mind is blown that people cant spend their days eating quinoa and plain chicken breasts because its healthy. People taste great thing, human behavior doesnt let them forget great thing when having less great thing.It blows my mind that people are incapable of drinking still water and they need someone to help them not drink soda. What happened to us?

I love my chocolate, but there's nothing more refreshing than ice cold water

For sure, but I sure won't deny that everything can be hard to let go of. Im not gonna fault people for not wanting to drink pure water, its hard for some people.
So, I've finally stopped drinking regular soda. I decided that I was cutting out the sugary drinks because they're awful and I've drank water and Diet MD for months now. However, I think I should keep going and get off of it entirely. My friend started drinking Clear Mountain Ice sparkling water. The different flavors are pretty good and I think I've figured out that the carbonation is what I crave. However, I'm skeptical on if these things are actually any better than diet soda. Would these be a good idea? Or I'm thinking just regular sparkling water, maybe get some flavor like Mio.
Yeah but drinking plain water results in a sharp spike in water levels in the body, which can dilute the platelets in the circulatory system, interfering with the blood clotting cascade. You can literally bleed to death from even a small cut.Artificial sweeteners cause the body to produce insulin due to the taste of sweetness and since there aren't any sugars to metabolize it can cause increased resistance and contribute to diabetes moreso than real sugar, especially in those already at risk for diabetes.
All of the zero calorie flavored options have "fake sugar" in them. If you can tolerate/like them, drinking a sparkling flavored water is the same as a diet coke.
So, is LaCroix healthy? Based on the factors we've outlined, yes. Though plain old water is still the best possible option, LaCroix is a massive upgrade over soda or high-sugar juices. It also hydrates you very similarly to regular water, which can be a huge boost to your overall health. So rejoice, LaCroix lovers. Your favorite beverage is legitimately good for you.

Or you know we could be realistic about the effects of drinking diet soda. Bad for your teeth, epidemiological associations with obesity.
Drinking soda, including 'diet' soda, is a shitty habit that has no positive benefits in the long run like smoking or eating fast food on a regular basis,

Realistically speaking, you will not likely binge drink such quantities water to achieve those described negative effects. Drinking soda, including 'diet' soda, is a shitty habit that has no positive benefits in the long run like smoking or eating fast food on a regular basis, and there's no reason you shouldn't try to drop it. Its ease of consumption and the marketing strategies employed by its producers make it far too simple to overindulge.
Artificial sweeteners are just as bad as sugar, if not worse. Go cold turkey to flavored seltzer or plain water.

Flavored water has no sweeteners
Or some other brand of sparkling water. Did the trick for me.
what do you think the "flavours" are? it depends, some are aspartame, some sucralose... some are natural fruit juice but that can be sugary... you make the call
You just got to bite the bullet and switch off the sweetened drinks altogether.
Plain old tap water is the king of beverages. It'll save you tons of money as well.
Once you're off the sweet stuff for a while you can't even stand the taste of that stuff anymore. It's comically sweet.
Don't drink tap in the US. You'll get lead poisoning.

Depends where you are I guess
NYC water is pretty good
