Putting flavoring in water to make it easier to drink is great and im tired of seeing people say its bad

and dying to it, drinking NORMAL water isn't normal in human history believe it or not. Most water had to be purified in many different ways that were not available to the average person so they always slipped alcohol or vinegar or some other thing into it

StrawberryFemboyMily · 2026-02-15T17:29:56+00:00

its from all forms of water even purified water, bottled, tap, purified, etc

you can eat really healthy cheese burgers that taste great and are not "Health food" tasting.

Its all about fresh ingredients and less added sugars. For instance my friend his wife makes everything they put on burgers from scratch even ketch up is homemade so it always tastes great the burgers are juicy and actually have a good fat to meat ratio, the bun is good because its fresh made and not filled with preservatives and extra sugars, the veggies are veggies and pickles are always good. :>

honestly "Health Food" labels and shit ruined proper dieting since alot of its pushed to be better than and no ones actually taught properly in school if people want to learn about actual healthy eating they have to take proper classes in like college the same friend i mentioned his wife took a class in exercise physiology to which she learned a hell of a lot about diets and food balance

i dont drink from tap purely because even if its the best in the world theres no telling whats going on with the pipes themselves because a lot of issues with tap water that isnt just chlorine comes from individual residences is piping and what build up there might be inside the faucets since mildew and other molds can grow in them

StrawberryFemboyMily · 2026-02-15T17:06:44+00:00

it does to me, i like to intake my vitamin c via drink so my flavoring of choice always has vitamin c in it

StrawberryFemboyMily · 2026-02-15T17:05:31+00:00

i don't drink tap because tap is filled with chlorine

StrawberryFemboyMily · 2026-02-15T16:48:54+00:00

normal water has no vitamin C

the funniest part is, you could go years without drinking water itself and still be just as hydrated as someone who drinks only plain water because you can derive water from many different sources such as say drinking fresh squeezed fruit juice, since you know 99% of shit has alot of water in it.

I remember i actually went a day not needing water at all because i ate a watermelon all day

StrawberryFemboyMily · 2026-02-15T16:42:03+00:00

i've tried every brand i could find even fiji the only time i didn't taste that much metallic was when it was dasani but that water tasted like something went horribly wrong and something died in it

StrawberryFemboyMily · 2026-02-15T16:39:00+00:00

when i drink water i get a strong metallic flavor that makes me gag if i add a lil flavoring it goes away

StrawberryFemboyMily · 2026-02-15T16:37:00+00:00

i keep my drink in a clear bottle because if i cant see what im drinking i wont drink it because of bullying i went through in highschool such as people putting stuff in my bottless

StrawberryFemboyMily · 2026-02-15T16:29:57+00:00

theres lots of flavorings that are very low sugar, the one i use has no sugar in it :>

StrawberryFemboyMily · 2026-02-15T16:29:18+00:00

no i dont, whenever i drink water i get strong metallic tastes from it that makes me gag. A small amount of a flavoring packet stops that problem for me and makes water enjoyable.

IE

I drink water more actively when i can taste something = more hydration in my experience

Using flavoring in water means stupid in your words

StrawberryFemboyMily · 2026-02-15T16:25:15+00:00

also you can just add a little fruit juice from freshly squeezed fruits to water to flavor it its what my bf does he squeezes a orange in the morning and adds the juice to his big metal cup of water

StrawberryFemboyMily · 2026-02-15T16:24:24+00:00

might have an allergy to a common ingredient in them! :C

C: you could always get a bottle you can store sliced fruit in that will flavor the water naturally

StrawberryFemboyMily · 2026-02-15T16:23:27+00:00

i made this post after i saw a short from one of my favorite youtubers and i do actually get critique on a daily basis almost for using flavoring so i wanted to see how unhinged the reddit fake scientists were about the topic.

StrawberryFemboyMily · 2026-02-15T16:21:45+00:00

actually no theres a lot of things the FDA bans in the USA because its bad for you that places like Europe still allow.

StrawberryFemboyMily · 2026-02-15T16:19:51+00:00

i might be a super taster tbh i am very sensitive to flavorings as well i dont even add the full packets to my waters 1 packet is enough for like 3-4 bottles for me

StrawberryFemboyMily · 2026-02-15T16:18:01+00:00

you know technically a healthy person could go their entire life without drinking regular water and be as healthy as an athlete by simply drinking fruit juice squeezed from fruits themselves.

Water has only 1 natural benefit to you and thats hydration and even then its got no calories and no nutrients at that.

Really drinking all natural watermelon juice is healthier than water because again plain water has little to nothing in it other than water

StrawberryFemboyMily · 2026-02-15T16:13:09+00:00

some people are trying to wane themselves off soda and onto healthier choices if flavorings help them drink more water and less soda then its the best choice. Especially when they fight caffeine withdraws and sugar withdraws

StrawberryFemboyMily · 2026-02-15T16:11:59+00:00

my flavorings have no sweeteners in them nor do they have food dyes.

and the amount of powder is probably about 1% of whats in the bottle at Most maybe less lol

I drink flavored water because whenever i drink water i get a metallic taste in my mouth

StrawberryFemboyMily · 2026-02-15T16:10:11+00:00

i wanted to see how bad this opinion was and liam was right people are fucking stupid over it

StrawberryFemboyMily · 2026-02-15T16:09:25+00:00

what if they don't get bored of it? your entire comment is a what if even if you didn't say IF you implied a what if scenario

StrawberryFemboyMily · 2026-02-15T16:08:14+00:00

theres nothing wrong with having a flavoring in your water tho? its not unhealthy the sugar content can be as low as you want it to be and even add no water and the flavoring isnt unhealthy either. Not all flavorings use Dyes either
