    From what I gather, most are not, but its important to read the label to make sure its not flavored with any of the sugars etc. And if you want to be super safe, make sure its not flavored by anything that may cause cancer in the state of california.

    However, one school of thought is that by drinking flavored water you're not disciplining yourself to drink plain water. Which keeps the cravings for soda's and sports drinks and other unhealthy beverages. Not training your taste buds to appreciate things that aren't "sweet". So its kind of a lifestyle thing. If you're a fatty, than drink plain water. If you're pretty fit and avoid alot of the beverages that are just carbonated sugar and carmel color, then by all means ****e of your water with a little flavor wild man.

          Just avoid aspertame (nutra sweet), IMO. Otherwise, it's excellent. I'm a big believer in flavoring water be it decaf tea, koolaid w/splenda, etc. Otherwise, it's easy to get burned out on water. Discipline becomes more successful when you work smarter.

            Flavored water, which flavored water you like to drink could you please let me know the water is flavor less and has no taste and color. Water has also lots of benefits to use. 8 glass of water a day must and according to doctors its our body need.

                How many grams of Sugar is that?
                4.5% seems a little high to me, but it might not be. That wouldn't make it bad for you, it would just make it a little high in sugar if you're going "total healthy nut" on it.
