Is Vitamin Water safe for kids to drink?


Posted by Jane O.

The last time I looked at the ingredients, I saw Aspartame in there. I don't think any liver toxic sweetener is good for anyone, but especially children.

In general... . You're better off creating your own, natural version of vitamin water. Ie. If your kids like the one that's purple, soak blueberries in water overnight, then strain it. It will have a hint of blueberry but still taste like water, and your kids will be getting the benefit of something that's natural. I've read several nutritionists that state that Vitamin Water really isn't going to do much in terms of offering vitamins, so may as well skip it.
