How healthy/unhealthy is this drink?

It’s called Simply Lemonade with raspberry and it says it’s "all natural, not from concentrate," but then on the back it says 11% juice blend, and its ingredients are : pure filtered water, natural sugar, lemon juice, raspberry puree, natural flavors.

im trying to eat as healthy of food as i can, but i need my sugar fix every once in a while so i bought this to quench that craving. it has 7 servings per container, and each serving has 110 calories, and 26 grams of sugar.

so is this OKAY, or is it something that I should avoid?

water filter for drinking safe consumption?




I’m using a water filter for drinking which consist of a four stage catridge: activated carbon, silica sand, zeolite and mineral sand. Lately, I notice very small particles sentiment at the bottom of the mineral pot where the filtered water is stored. I believe this is from the filter catridge as there are large pores where the particles may pass through. Does this render the water unsafe for consumption?

Which is better to drink daily?




I’m addicted to drinking Pepsi. I hate the effects from it though. People say it’s worse than smoking. My other choice is Minute Maid (Fruit drinks). The top ingredients in that are: Pure filtered water, sweeteners, and concentrate flavors like grape/pineapple. I just need some opinions, thanks :D !

My dog has loose bottom teeth?




My 4 year old has 4 loose teeth on her bottom jaw at the front. All her teeth look white with hardly any build up on them. Her top teeth are strong. What is causing it? Could it be that we’ve only given her pure filtered water her entire life and she’s missing the calcium in her body?

I’m pretty sure it’s a reverse osmosis system, the type with the separate faucet over the sink that dispenses filtered water.

I would really like us to be able to use it, but ever since we bought this house 8 months ago, we haven’t known whether it’s safe to use, and have no idea who to call to inspect it. I don’t think a plumber would have any idea about water filters, would they?

Raw food recipes and diets all call for filtered water. While I have thought my water of the last 8 yrs has been extremely good, I have become more aware of using filtered water. Does the Britta count?

I’m thinking of getting a Drinkwell for my cat, but he is already getting Brita water, so I see no reason to put the pure (rather disgusting) tap water into the Drinkwell since I’m already paying to replace the Brita filter every two months (if not sooner).

Would using pre-filtered water mean that the Drinkwell filters last more than the 2 weeks they state on their website?

What is the real life of water filters?




Water filter pitchers tell you when to replace as do refrigerators with filtered water. Is this not another ploy by manufacturers to get you to buy. One needs less laundry detergent than indicated on the bottle/box.

Are the minerals in tap water natural or synthetic? And if they are synthetic are they absorbed by the body as well as organic minerals?

I was thinking for the ultimate filtered water it should be run through a reverse osmosis system and then organic minerals added to the water and stored in glass bottles. I can’t see a better way to filter your water than this method.

Other filer systems that leave minerals in the water do not filter other nasties such as fluoride to good standards. This includes the Aquasana system.

Is there a store where you can have your water filtered for you through reverse osmosis? Or maybe I could go to a place where you can buy Reverse Osmosis filtered water…Its for a science project.

Lately my friends and family have been telling me that I should really be using some kind of water filtration system instead of drinking my water straight from the faucet. I was just wondering if there was any advantage health wise as to drinking filtered water over tap water.
