Nutrition Facts?
 
So, I just bought this "carbonated water" the other day from Walmart, and it's called "Clear American". The nutrition facts on the bottle say that its zero everything. No calories, carbs, sugars, protein, sodium, and fat, but it tastes so good! I googled it and I couldn't find anything on it. It just really seems too good to be true, honestly. I was just wondering if anyone knew anything about this, cause I could drink this stuff F-O-R-E-V-E-R. I'm sorry, but its really good. THANKS!

BTW the flavor "soda" is called Raspberry Apple.

Well if you drink any kind or carbonated drink, you've discovered "Seltzer".

It's like diet soda without coloring and with fruit flavor. Same stuff.

Diet soda has calories and carbs, don't they...?

WildBillyT 06-09-2010 10:19 PM

No. Hence diet.

I do just drink water. I saw this stuff on the shelf in Walmart, read the label and was shocked so I bought a few bottles. Only water everyday, sucks. Going from soda and iced tea to water isn't fun. But I guess that's what a diet it for, huh?

JerzLT1 06-10-2010 05:46 AM

yup, i drink propel a lot. its a nice change from straight water and you can get the powder pretty cheap

Unsweetened iced tea is a good way to go.

I know exactly what you're talking about. My son drinks it pretty much exclusively, and the pediatrician okayed it. My son also happens to be five years old and burns anything bad before it really gets into his system. For us, the aspertame is a bad thing (Or so I'm told; I'm no dietary expert but I've been trying to do better by myself these days), but I'll occasionally have a glass of this stuff just for some flavor. I think just like anything, in moderation you're okay but don't count on it as a substitute for good ole H2O.

yeah aspartame is known for eating the liner of your stomach away after long term consumption
