from "Rust Out" by Dr Bailey page 103

Flavored water that claims to add vitamins, antioxidants and minerals have minimal health

benefits. They generally do not contain enough sugar and electrolytes to replenish the systems of serious exercisers. And at $1.89 or more for eight ounces, they are a very costly form of hydration. But, they may have some value for people who don’t drink their eight glasses of water a day. Actually one ounce of water for every kilogram (2.2 pounds=one kilogram) of body weight a day is recommended for optimal hydration.

You can’t reduce by talking about it. The important part is to keep your mouth shut.
