  • There's lot of water options at the grocery store now, but I want to show you which ones are the best, and which ones you want to avoid. First let's talk about the importance of drinking alkaline bottled water, and which brands you can buy that are alkaline. There are many flavored waters on the market, but almost all of the them have natural favors added, which are not natural at all. Many of the electrolyte waters at the store have added sweetener, colors, and flavors. Lastly, we also talk about flavored water drops, which I just I want you to avoid. Mad love Bobby...Dessi...and Art! XOXO

    I love to watch your videos because they reinforce my knowledge through out the years about food ingredients and nutrition facts that it started my journey when I was pregnant 19 years ago. I have been shopping for my family paying attention to ingredients that I can’t pronounce and I was terrified to find out the stuff that is in our food. My kids now teens think I was crazy but now they can see for themselves how the choices I made a while back have paid off. Thanks God they are growing up strong and healthy. So sad that most foods are made for business purposes. Then we ask ourselves why there is so many diseases and obesity in this country. Terrible!!!
    Thank you for your great videos. !!!!

    One of the most important water videos on the internet.
    I drink Deer Park spring water and Giant brand spring water in plastic bottles sadly.
    I am very grateful you mentioned the toxicity of splenda/sucrolose and I would add aspartame is just as bad.
    I was surprised natural flavors actually means UN natural flavors and should be completely avoided if possible.
    But this level of food industry deceit does not surprise me.
    They actually put a genuine poison, aspartame , in the food supply because it is so addictive and cheap.
    Thank you for the fantastic information.
    Keep up the great work.

    Bobby, if you visit Hot Springs, Arkansas, you can go up in a tower there and the tour guide will tell you all about a Chicago Mob guy that started buying Mountain Vally water. He would send his guys to buy that water and bring it to him in Chicago as it was all he drank. He, also, purportedly stayed at The Arlington Hotel and Spa because it had and still does have a natural hot springs bath house in the bottom of the hotel. As do a select few of places there including a rehabilitation facility that is still there as well. By the way, if you bring your own container you can get free hot or cold hot springs water from the natural springs there on the main street of the town! People love the water!

    Bobby, do more research. Do you really think that your alkaline water is going to change the acidity of your stomach acids? Would you rather your stomach was 9.0 alkaline so that it can't digest food? A person's blood is in the range of 7.35 - 7.45. How does any water change any of that?
    With that said, I want water and just the most pure water that nature has.

    Hi Bobby. Thank you for your videos. You have revolutionized my grocery shopping! When I saw this video, I was a little shocked that you have bought into the alkaline water hype of the early 2010s and actually have an alkalizing home water filter and felt compelled to leave a comment. What do you think your stomach acid does to the alkaline water? When you’re as young as you are (mid 40s), the alkalinity probably won’t hurt you because your produce enough stomach acid to neutralize the alkalinity and it is just a hype at this point. When you are older, however, and may have low stomach acid and digestion issues as many older folks do, then the alkaline water is just like chewing antacid tablets during or after a meal. It interferes with digestion, interferes with nutrient and medication absorption, and creates heartburn in some folks. I am not a fan of drinking acid water but plain water is what nature has intended for us to drink. You may have seen those tests where they put a piece of fruit in alkaline water and show you how it will stay fresh and not rot for many, many hours vs one not placed in alkaline water and from that, they conclude it keeps your cells young. That may happen to a few cells that absorb the water right out of the mouth but then again you have the stomach acid that will either neutralize it or IT will disrupt the digestive process. Trust me you do not want the fruit to stay fresh going thru your digestive tract any way. And unless your were directly injecting yourself with something alkaline, there is no way for you to increase your body’s PH thru ingestion of alkaline water. Ask a doctor! Please make a video and let us know what you think. ❤️

    7.0 pH is neutral. Therefore anything over 7.0 is : "alkaline." But we're talking very tiny degrees of measurement and I can't imagine it means much. Anything between 6.5 pH and 7.8 pH is perfectly acceptable. Chicago water comes in around 7.4 - 7.7; New York City water out of the tap is around 6.6 - 6.8. Further, pH is only half the story. There is "hardness" to consider. More reading is needed.

    Before I watch this video today, I purchased two 5 gallon water bottles from Mountain Valley Spring water. They deliver to my house. Am I correct in saying that all the minerals are intact with Mountain Valley Spring water versus reverse osmosis? Does reverse osmosis take out the fluoride in your water? There is some mynute amount of natural fluoride in Mountain Valley Spring water.

    I got caught up in the Bubly water phase. Thought I was doing something good for myself since it's "water". Included in the natural flaroring is a ton of citric acid! I woke up with the worst migraine I've ever had in my life and the only thing I had done differently was drank several Bubly's the day before.

      I like that collagen bulletproof coffee. I keep it in the fridge and I'll have a swallow of it every once in awhile Throughout my day, if I didn't get a chance to make my coffee in the morning. I won't guzzle the whole thing, cuz it's definitely in the realm of meal replacement if I drink the whole thing.
      The mocha collagen flavor has the best macro breakdown in my opinion. I wish they made one without sweetener, I don't like sweet tastes ☺️

    Liked Fiji water, but, it tested the same as my tap water minu chlorine
    Taste and being more alkaline. Tried Berkeley water filter, other brands
    Bottled water. Best was Auguson farms emergency water 100% pure...
    Problem, costs a fortune...in a can and good for fifty years.
    Using shunghite stones to keep my water in, in a container improved
    Water purity almost fifty percent better. Can add a little lemon juice
    To water which becomes alkaline in the body. Can add a little baking
    Soda also...haven’t tried this as sound gross. Thanks for so much good info.

    I bought a case of Dansani for a hurricane once because it was all that was left. I tasted one bottle and it was so bitter I couldn't drink it. I took it all back. Most bottled waters are purified tap water. Real spring water is the best and it doesn't matter if it comes in a plastic or glass bottle.

      Yep, being on a budget means I use my zero water filter for absolutely everything. But beware because tea bags can have natural flavorings in them too, something that I didn't realize until I already had them home. But tea bags and cheap filtered water do me just fine, along with some bottled green tea here and there.

    Hi Carl,
    Zevia has always listed “natural flavors” in ingredient panels. Because of proprietary reasons, we cannot list all the flavors we put in our sodas.
    Our “Natural Flavors” are all plant-derived. Examples of components in our natural flavors are citrus oils, cherry essence, cassia oil, wintergreen, and other flavor compounds unique to each flavor (eg, Grapefruit Citrus). We don’t disclose a laundry list of our natural flavors.
    Our entire strategy revolves around using plant-derived ingredients, and creating a ‘smarter choice’ than the mainstream products. The term “Natural” is a highly sensitive term in the food and beverage industry, as there no regulatory framework for calling a product ‘natural’, we avoid calling our product ‘natural’. The term “Natural Flavors” is an exception, given that it has regulatory framework. For example, that cannot use ‘artificial flavors’ and call them ‘natural flavors’.
    We can absolutely confirm that there is no MSG, dairy, egg, soy, wheat, peanut, tree nut, fish, shell fish in any Zevia product. All Zevia beverages are Gluten Free, and Vegan, as well as non-GMO Project verified and Kosher.
    However, we take great care in choosing ingredients that are the smartest choice for all of our consumers, especially those who have special diets and food allergies. If there is an ingredient you are trying to avoid, we are able to confirm whether or not these beverages will be right for you. Just let us know.
