Some "Respectable" Natural Drink Choices

I am asked by so many people who want to stop drinking the diet drinks, "So, WHAT do I drink now?"

My reply: THERE WAS PLENTY TO DRINK AND ENJOY BEFORE NUTRASWEET CAME ON THE MARKET! The healthy alternatives have been out there, they are just not in the soda machines.

There has always been pure water, pure juices, natural teas and good coffees for people to enjoy. But our society has gotten into the bad habit of grabbing a bottle of soda pop from machines placed on every street corner, in every office building, the public schools, and , of course, in every shopping mall. Colas and diet drinks are "encouraged" in America, and children are being raised thinking that a diet cola is healthier for them than pure water. And now kids don't even want to drink plain water anymore because they prefer water with added artificial flavorings and chemical sweeteners.

But there is a silver lining behind this dark cloud - the competition for manufacturing and marketing healthy waters and healthy drinks is on the rise. When Glaceau Vitamin Water® first came on the market, not only was their marketing funny and refreshing (pun intended), but it offered consumers, particularly athletes and children, a healthy alternative to diet colas. Now, the market has yet another, fun and healthy vitamin enhanced water that puts the flavored waters containing artificial sweeteners to shame.

Here's the new kid on the block - a Charlotte, North Carolina company introduced a healthy choice for vitamin-enhanced water labeled Respect.

Respect Vitamin Enhanced Water has 10 essential vitamins and minerals offered in a variety of flavors. Like Glaceau's Vitamin Water, each flavor is categorized by added functional benefits. Plus, Respect uses all natural ingredients, not artificial sweeteners or fructose syrup -- only pure cane sugar to get just the right sweetness; AND no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.

This is yet another great alternative for people trying to ditch the chemical diet cola habit for a healthier and more natural drink alternative. Check out their site for nutritional, vitamin and mineral information: Respect Drinks.
