Supporting health goals with beverages

You might be a fan of drinking those health beverages to support overall health and wellness, but you might not know that the formulas will also include a lot of sugar in addition to nutrients. For instance, Vitamin Water is popular for its diversity in flavors and for all the vitamins and minerals you can get -- but each 16-ounce bottle is said to have the same amount of sugar as a 12-ounce can of Diet Coke.

Fuze Drinks may be viewed as a little bit healthier, with lines such as Slenderize, but I'm not sure that the drinks will help you lose weight and keep it off. That's because the formulas don't include appetite suppressants like Hoodia and fat burners like Advantra-Z. I suppose it can't hurt to consume these beverages in moderation, but a capsule-based supplement might yield more tangible results.
