Owater Blueberry Infused With Antioxidants

May 20, 2008

Here's a new product to rival all the artificially flavored sports drinks out there. It is refreshing, tastes great and has a bright blueberry aroma. The label states that it contains 21 percent of your daily values of vitamin C and zinc, 6 percent of your daily value of vitamin E, and 15 percent of your daily value of folate per bottle -- as opposed to just under half that per serving. BUT, when it comes to the sugar content, only 9g per serving is listed, while the 18.9g per bottle isn't mentioned. Hmmm, wonder why -- is it because there's more sugar in this health drink than in a bar of chocolate? Retails for $2.09/17-oz. bottle. Available in other flavors.

Taste: 30
Value: 17
Health: 13
Ingredients: 13
Preparation: 10
Appearance: 5
Packaging: 5
Total: 93
