This company is emphasizing the importance of staying hydrated before, during and after pregnancy, and that's one of the most important things you can do. This water beverage simply helps women to enjoy the hydration process, instead of seeing it as a chore. If you take the time to research other types of purified water, you will see what an amazing advance this is in the industry. I think this is an absolutely fantastic product.

This particular brand of water is fortified with vitamins essential to expecting mothers, if you'd read the article linked.

Now I know what I'll drink all summer - beer + <em>frozen</em> lime. No need for ice! Don, great idea! Now I know what I’ll drink all summer – beer + frozen lime. No need for ice!

I wash them well then throw them in the freezer for an hour. At that point they're firm but not rocks, and I slice the ends of them and quarter them. All those quarters go into a big quarter ziploc bag and back in the freezer, where I can pull one out to toss in my glass of water. I suppose they'd be good for hot tea if I made it at home, too. I'll be damned if I'm going to pay at the grocery for the privilege of carrying around heavy bottles of water when it comes out of my tap....

Isn't water healthy and sugar-free to begin with? And both Dasani and Aquifina, essentially filtered tap water, are already doing their best to take up the non-soda market. If so, why does the world need to create "a bottled water with 10.5 grams less sugar"? Would that be negative sugar then? And make Saphia just another marketing illusion? Um, I’m confused.
