Publix's raspberry seltzer water is amazing.
The flavored water I'm drinking is just marked with aroma as a flavoring ingredient
Or I'm thinking just regular sparkling water, maybe get some flavor like Mio.
Maybe sparkling water with Mio?
Has anyone done this successfully? I tried it once and it caused the sparkling water to fizz up all over. It was kind of like a Diet Coke/Mentos effect.
I've mostly been doing plain water, adding in Mio or Crystal Light flavoring when I absolutely NEED flavor. It's working for me, along with VERY occasional can of soda as a treat.
Yes, we do. I have no idea what that poster was talking about. There are EPA standards limiting the amount of lead in drinking water, and even if some places exceed it (I don't know if they do) it's still a long god damn way from being being able to give lead poisining.What isn't messed up in the US? Damn son.
Don't you have proper government regulations on tap water?

A lot of shit's fucked in the US, but mostly on a regional/local level.
I kicked soda by drinking sparkling water. For me, it was definitely the carbonation that had me hooked. Now I just drink a sparkling water whenever I get that old craving and it works like a charm.

Artificial sweeteners absolutely do not cause insulin to trigger Jesus
They do not affect blood sugar response http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-...rt-answers/artificial-sweeteners/faq-20058038

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.
Have a kidney stone.
You'll be drinking nothing but gallons of water in no time.

You mean ... you don't take EXPotemkin at his word?
You'd have to read "Undoctored" by Dr. William Davis.

The food you eat is making you sick and the agencies that are providing you with guidelines on what to eat are giving dangerous advice with devastating health consequences.
Who had the audacity to write such an against-the-grain book exposing ”healthy whole grains" for the incredibly destructive genetic monsters they've become?
That's me, Dr. William Davis, cardiologist and seeker-of-truth in health.
Huh? That's like saying your mind is blown that people can't spend their days eating quinoa and plain chicken breasts because it's healthy. People taste great thing, human behavior doesn't let them forget great thing when having less great thing.
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.

He might be an EXPert...
Oh, ok... :/
So, what are the relevant scientifically-backed statistics that you're referring to?
EDIT: Oh, here's his blog page
Oh goodness...
You're in some really fucked up state if you can't bear to drink plain water...
http://www.marksdailyapple.com/artificial-sweeteners-insulin/ He's cites a bunch of studies done.
The notion that artificial sweeteners (and sweet tastes in general) might produce an insulin response is one of those murky memes that winds itself around the blogs, but it's never stated one way or the other with any sort of confidence.
[...]
Do artificial sweeteners induce insulin secretion
[...]
Overall, the evidence seems to suggest little, if any, effect on insulin secretion as a result of tasting or consuming aspartame.
[...]
The evidence for saccharin's effect on insulin is mixed, but either way, it doesn't appear to have too big of an impact in real world terms.
[...]
We haven't seen people orally taking acesulfame K in a fasted state and having an insulin response.
[...]
there's not much if any evidence that sucralose has an independent in vivo effect on insulin.
[...]
So far as I can tell, according to the literature there isn't an appreciable insulin effect from most sweeteners.
I know right? Where did things go so wrong that people can't bear to drink regular water and need to have it flavored/carbonated.
More like the ”please stop the unscientific vague fear posting"
Artificial sweeteners have become the most studied food ingredients in the world over the past four decades and continue to be safely consumed in all major world markets, especially those that have studied the sweeteners themselves
INTERPRETATION Evidence from RCTs does not clearly support the intended benefits of nonnutritive sweeteners for weight management, and observational data suggest that routine intake of nonnutritive sweeteners may be associated with increased BMI and cardiometabolic risk. Further research is needed to fully characterize the long-term risks and benefits of nonnutritive sweeteners. Protocol registration: PROSPERO-CRD42015019749
What are you even trying to do?...
I've been trying a few different things.
I stocked up on some Spindrift when it was on sale for dirt cheap, their Lemon, Raspberry Lime, and Blackberry flavors are really good.
I also make unsweetened tea and use crystallized lemon, lime, or orange to flavor it.
Then there is crystal light mixes as well.
I also like these a lot as well;
He's saying that it's a case by case basis [..]
In the cohort studies, consumption of nonnutritive sweeteners was associated with increases in weight and waist circumference, and higher incidence of obesity, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular events. Publication bias was indicated for studies with diabetes as an outcome
