You should learn to drink regular water. Maybe some unsweetened sparkling water with lemon or lime if you need something in it. But seriously you shouldn't be drinking any of these things.
Including the Monster Hydro as flavored water isn't really fair. It says on the container "Energy Drink" so you would expect it to be full of sugar, taurine, and guarana.
In JEST! I called it right before Jack put 100% Coconut water into the BAD pile! Then was shocked he actually did it. Come on Jack! "I just don't drink sugar beverages anymore". except for turtle coffee etc. but I realize my restricted viewpoint through this keyhole.
i kinda disagree with putting things on the bad side just because it has sugar in it. vita coco is literally they break open the coconut, strain the water, and bottle it after they process it to make sure its safe. and 3 tsp of sugar really isnt all that much. i put that in my smaller cup of coffee.
That's why I said this is my good and bad side and yours may differ depending on what your trying to avoice. I don't want any sugar since I'm diabetic. Hence, bad side.
I think staying away from the energy drinks is good advice. However, I must throw it out there that Taurine alone is actually a naturally occurring amino acid, which is just a building block of protein and has medically beneficial properties if used appropriately.
Just so its here at the top of the comments, for now, Diet Pepsi took out aspartame. Diet Coke with Splenda doesnt have it either. Look around at products before you tell us something that is old that changed in 2015-2016.
I make my own. Walmart Seltzer water (62¢ for 2 liters), a bit of squeeze ginger, some lime juice & a touch of stevia. Let sit for about 15 minutes to allow the ginger to infuse. Overnight is even better. I'll vary it with a small amount of pureed fruit (from frozen). The Clear American big bottles taste great - the aspartame kills my joints.
Black raspberry Sparkling ice is my favorite also. I tried the strawberry banana Clear American ice today and that one was really good too. Great video!
Medical fact, your body exists at an isotonic state where at all times theres salt in your blood. Salt is a natural electrolyte and when you drink water alone your body has to tap into its salt sources to make the water isotonic. If you're trying to get hydrated, add a little pinch of salt to 32oz/ 1 liter of water to make it easily absorbable by your body.
Sucralose has its effects on the body as well. There is actually small amounts of chlorine in it. Though a derivative from sugar they alter it by removing a chemical compound and replacing it with the chlorine. In high doses or small amounts consistently you will have adverse affects on your body. Stevia is the safest sugar substitute currently, or just drink things that have natural sugar in it. I currently make all my no added sugar sweets with stevia. A cheesecake sweetened by stevia and an almond crust taste just as good as a regular cheesecake
Hey Jack! Sorry to hear about your stroke, so glad that you were able to make a nice recovery and fix it!! The brain is a powerful instrument!!! Nice reviews, I do drink the sugar free Monsters (once a month) but only when I think I need it... Seems like I should try to stop them all together.
You should start the video with this is your opinion and is not factual at all. I love your videos but a lot of your information in this video is incorrect.
I liked the episode and the info. However, I wanted to see you taste the good ones. I really like seeing your reactions to stuff cuz it is similar to mine and then I dont have to try them all (grin). Thank you for your videos.
I think y the big bottle has aspartame because its clear and maybe the good stuff (can't remember the name) adds a bit of colour to the formula thats what i think is the reason
I will want to warn my grad-student daughter about taurine and guarana in energy drinks, too. Fortunately, both she and I like the Mountain Dew Kickstart line, which you said are totally caffeine-based.
Neuro waters are more of a dietary supplement water. They perform specific functions, there’s one for anxiety, sleep and energy plus the one you bought is for immunity boost and a daily vitamin so to speak. I wouldn’t recommend consuming a number of these during the day.
Appreciate video. I like the sparkling water drinks too(the fizz of sparkling water does it). Vitamin water not bad and comes in different flavors. Interesting to hear about your stroke and Im so thankful you came back from it. It really could have been bad(man upstairs had different plans for you). Since you stay away from sugar have you thought about making desserts using sugar substitutes? Wonderful channel and thanks for sharing your personal insights!
I can get most of the flavored-water beverages included here at my local supermarket; however, Sparkling Ice is most often on sale, so I've probably drunk that the most. It was good to see that Vitamin Water 0 was also one of the "good" brands; I like that even better than Sparkling Ice because it's not carbonated, but it's not on sale as often.
I drink Sparkling Ice as well (personal favorites are the black raspberry and cherry limeade). The Neuro drink, I believe they have different names for different types of beverage, like they have..I think it's called Sonic for their energy drink, that is quite good as well. I work long hours, graveyard shift, at a casino. I usually drink a Rock Star fruit punch at least a few times a week, but hearing your story...I think I need to rethink that. I've mostly cut out soda, but probably will never give it up completely. But I'll switch to Mtn Dew Kickstart for my energy needs. Their fruit punch is good and less risky, if still unhealthy. Thank you so much Jack, glad you're doing better.
I drink Wesley Farms Sparkling Water which has sucralose. I also like Sparkling ice. Ive always heard Splenda was bad for you. I also drink coke zero which has aspartame. I only drink one a day when I do have it in the house. I'd like to kick the habit on all until I find something I like with stevia.
I love the vitamin water. I can drink it all day, but it's too expensive. I'm looking into making my own with fruit flavored tea or fruit extracts. I already have the ingredients, just gotta make them. I hope they are good. I need to get away from Pepsi which I've cut down about 75%.
Jack you should try intermittent fasting. Been amazing for me. I was just thinking last night about flavored water drinks and then you post this video. I’ve read that Stevia spikes insulin more than sugar, but some people say it doesn’t according to studies. Who knows. Glad to hear you recovered from your Stroke!
So glad you healed Jack! Great information shared. This is why I love these videos. Btw those energy drinks are also linked with clots. A good friend had a bad one in her lung.
I LOVE vitamin water zero! It’s delicious and as you said has no harmful ingredients. Neuro’s natural energy drinks made me nauseous the two times I tried them. I have never seen the one you found before.
I stopped drinking the large walmart clear because of the aspartame. I haven't seen the other walmart (ice nock-off) drink yet. I do like your favorite and knew it had stevia in it.
I am a reformed Pepsi holic. I gave up my 45 year smoking habit last year, and my goal for this one was to walk away from the Pepsi. I got sick in Nov and again in Dec and walked away from the Pepsi. No looking back. Love the Stevia in Tea.
Some of my friends have reported that they had some health issues that LESSENED in pain/irritation after a few days of imbibing aloe vera - related beverages. I'm not a medical expert by any means, so your mileage may vary greatly.
Hi Jack!! Wow, I didn’t know that you had a stroke. I’m sorry to hear that, but I’m so happy that you made a full recovery. You’re a lucky man 😊. As for the waters, I don’t drink any of them. I only drink just plain ole water 😁. Great review as always. Have a great night!! ❤️
The numbers you're quoting are for each serving. So each manufacturer makes their own serving size. Each bottle most likely has multiple servings. That could make the sugar/sweetener content numbers misleading.
I was aware of side effects in children with the consumption of aspartame, but not about joint pain in adults. I drink a lot of diet pop and flavored water, and am getting old enough so that joint pain is starting to become an issue, so I will definitely want to read the ingredient labels on these beverages in future!
DOSBoxMom I was addicted to Crystal Light - I hurt so bad one summer that I had tears when walking. Years later I learned about the aspartame effects - stopped and rarely have anything with it now. HUGE DIFFERENCE.
Amen brother. Thank goodness you got better. I didn't even know you had a stroke. Guarana has more caffeine in it than coffee. I knew something was wrong when I drank an energy drink and it made my heart beat so fast that I said nope, not for me. I had a neighbor who died of a heart attack also from energy drinks. So so bad for you. Please guys and gals listen to Jack, he knows what's up.
How about doing buying grocery on line, Walmart, Amazon, Jet. I have used all and don't order anything breakable from Walmart, bottles, bags have come broken more times than should and they got orders wrong. Amazon was ok but limited in selection, pricey and year member fee and only getting free shipping on $50+ isn't worth it but meat was good and all arrived undamaged and on time. Jet is my choice, better selection, prices are fine and stuff can't find anywhere else can their. Free shipping on $35 order but they need new packaging, its not bad just could use container like Amazon instead of ice pack filled bags in card board box.
That was some great info on seemingly innocent products. Thank you for making this video.
nah actually this comment is false.. he has never given great info... he is too dumb.
The coconut waters have natural sugars they’re not stripped of anything nor is anything added.
It’s pretty funny that people are basing the causes of their strokes on energy drinks and not their extreme obesity
Why did you not taste them?
Equal is aspartame so it is still being used. Diet Pepsi is no longer sweetened with aspartame and is now sweetened with sucralose.
You should learn to drink regular water. Maybe some unsweetened sparkling water with lemon or lime if you need something in it. But seriously you shouldn't be drinking any of these things.
Your opinion has absolutely no weight when you’ve had two strokes.
Including the Monster Hydro as flavored water isn't really fair. It says on the container "Energy Drink" so you would expect it to be full of sugar, taurine, and guarana.

I have a neighbor who is overweight, in his mid twenties and drinks Monster all the time. I'm going to show him this video. Thanks Jack.

The amount of taurine in energy drinks isn't safe.

exactly! and this is why all electrolyte drinks are salty, like Gatorade
I never like the way energy drinks made me feel so I don’t drink them. I also don’t like the taste of them.
Diet Pepsi is Aspartame free.
Vantage seltzer .. no calories, no sugar, no flavorings ... perfect!
Marsha Lessig add you own 'flavor' if you want. One of my faves is ginger & lime with a pinch of stevia.
Aspartame isn’t in Diet Pepsi anymore Jack. A lot of companies are steering away from it because it’s worse than sugar like you said.
I like the ice flavored water that's my favorite
Sucralose has its effects on the body as well. There is actually small amounts of chlorine in it. Though a derivative from sugar they alter it by removing a chemical compound and replacing it with the chlorine.

hey Jack, do a taste test of the black raspberry one vs. the walmart one.
Jack might I advise steering away from explaining chemicals/science/medical stuff in general.
My favorite is cascade ice organic citrus twist
Vitamin Water is pretty decent, the main one I drink is Dragon Fruit. I don't like Gatorade. Sparkling Ice is pretty good too.
Hey Jack! Sorry to hear about your stroke, so glad that you were able to make a nice recovery and fix it!! The brain is a powerful instrument!!! Nice reviews, I do drink the sugar free Monsters (once a month) but only when I think I need it... Seems like I should try to stop them all together.
I usually drink Propel and my favorite flavor is Kiwi Strawberry :)
Truvia is also heavily processed and not totally natural, is processed from Stevia and other ingredients.
You should start the video with this is your opinion and is not factual at all. I love your videos but a lot of your information in this video is incorrect.
I don't drink flavored water i just boil my water then let it cool down then i put it throught a water filter
If you get a chance to try it. Get Hint water. Its a flavored water that is unsweetened and really good. 0 everything and comes in a bunch of flavors.
I liked the episode and the info. However, I wanted to see you taste the good ones. I really like seeing your reactions to stuff cuz it is similar to mine and then I dont have to try them all (grin). Thank you for your videos.
How about getting regular bottled water and adding the drops of flavor to it. Maybe do a play with your food episode about that?
Coconut water has naturally occurring sugar and sodium, just like any fruit.
OJ Simpson yeah there’s a ridiculous amount of false info in this video... kind of hard to watch, I almost thought it was a joke at first.
I just drink plain water and Gatorade. I’ve noticed my energy levels have actually increased since I’ve started doing so.
reason might be if the sweetner is solveable an if it leaves a opagueness or coloured tint
My flavored water of choice is coffee. 😊
Mine is the blood of my victims
You need to check out Bubly sparkling water.
The 17oz clear america is
.50cents.
The pineapple,and the cherry lemonade are my two favorites.
I think y the big bottle has aspartame because its clear and maybe the good stuff (can't remember the name) adds a bit of colour to the formula thats what i think is the reason
I have been drinking the big bottle of clear so I guess I need to down size.
Flavored water is just a bottled juice. I do not get why you want to buy bottled flavored water instead of mixing lemons or oranges on your water.
I will want to warn my grad-student daughter about taurine and guarana in energy drinks, too. Fortunately, both she and I like the Mountain Dew Kickstart line, which you said are totally caffeine-based.
I drink the big Walmart clear American. I don't mind the aspartame, I don't do energy drings at all
These are serving size? Or is it per bottle because that's a large difference.
What about l'croix
That should be an entire episode!
i like the Sparkling Ice brand. The pineapple coconut flavor is my favorite. It has a nice flavor.
For my flavored water I just add fruit. Cucumber slices, meyer lemons, limes, etc.
Neuro waters are more of a dietary supplement water. They perform specific functions, there’s one for anxiety, sleep and energy plus the one you bought is for immunity boost and a daily vitamin so to speak. I wouldn’t recommend consuming a number of these during the day.

It was good to see that Vitamin Water 0 was also one of the "good" brands; I like that even better than Sparkling Ice because it's not carbonated, but it's not on sale as often.
Its almost summer, do one on franks brands and types. Just bought Nathan's Angus franks but mostly by mine from Chicago Vienna beef.
Good episode.
My favourite is plain carbonated water :)
I mean, you could just drink water...
I drink Sparkling Ice as well (personal favorites are the black raspberry and cherry limeade).
The Neuro drink, I believe they have different names for different types of beverage, like they have..I think it's called Sonic for their energy drink, that is quite good as well.

Thank you so much Jack, glad you're doing better.
I'm type 2 diabetic. Even diet soda and flavored water mess me up. Just plain water with ice. Iced tea or coffee.
freezerburn4 Plain water all year and special occasions call for water infusions. :)
I went to America 3 years ago and fell in love with Sparkling ICE and Neuro... I can't believe it's only just catching on now 😄
I drink Wesley Farms Sparkling Water which has sucralose. I also like Sparkling ice. Ive always heard Splenda was bad for you. I also drink coke zero which has aspartame.

the drink with the Aloe will be good for people with ulcers and diverticulitis. it will help folks with sensitive gut.
I prefer well water
Oh! You asked! My favorite drink is Southern Comfort!! What??
Jack you should try intermittent fasting. Been amazing for me. I was just thinking last night about flavored water drinks and then you post this video. I’ve read that Stevia spikes insulin more than sugar, but some people say it doesn’t according to studies. Who knows. Glad to hear you recovered from your Stroke!
So glad you healed Jack! Great information shared. This is why I love these videos. Btw those energy drinks are also linked with clots. A good friend had a bad one in her lung.
the zero is at costco !!!
I know everyone is just dying to ask. Are those 6 finger oven mitts hanging behind you??
I LOVE vitamin water zero! It’s delicious and as you said has no harmful ingredients.
Neuro’s natural energy drinks made me nauseous the two times I tried them. I have never seen the one you found before.
I stopped drinking the large walmart clear because of the aspartame. I haven't seen the other walmart (ice nock-off) drink yet. I do like your favorite and knew it had stevia in it.
Nestle splash flavored waters are my favorite! They taste the best you should try one of those! 😊
I love the clear american water ones. I get the bigger one for 50 cents at walmart.
It has 6 heaping spoon fulls of sugar 🤣🤣🤣.
Very interesting playing with your food Jack.
Interesting info the doctor said not to worry about a lot of coffee. I've always worried about that.
Consuming too much of anything isnt good....
my Flavored Water i drink is sparking ice flavored water and clear American but my fav water is sparking Ice i love that stuff
I recently bought that water. Black raspberry is my favorite. Tried the coconut berry nasty as hell lol.
My flavoured water of choice is the chemical of H20 Nothing healthier than that. 1 chemical H20
H20 is a chemical
You're chemicals
everything is a chemical
My favorite by far is the Propel Kiwi Strawberry, very tastee.
I love sparkling ice!!!! My drink of choice!!!!
Good info Jack.
Darnet i didnt know that clear bigger drink had that.....good to know tho!! Thanx!!
plain water for me- cheap
I am a reformed Pepsi holic. I gave up my 45 year smoking habit last year, and my goal for this one was to walk away from the Pepsi. I got sick in Nov and again in Dec and walked away from the Pepsi. No looking back. Love the Stevia in Tea.
Monk fruit to me tastes the closest to sugar without any weird after taste
We drink the Ice in our house.
Sparkling ice is my favorite! :) pink grapefruit is the best!
If Truvia and Stevia are the same thing why are they marketed as 2 things?
Wait but you didn't taste test them all! I wanted to know which one you thought tasted the best.
Some of my friends have reported that they had some health issues that LESSENED in pain/irritation after a few days of imbibing aloe vera - related beverages. I'm not a medical expert by any means, so your mileage may vary greatly.
I LOVE Vitamin Water Zero drinks. Anytime they are on sale, I snap up as many as I can.
Hi Jack!! Wow, I didn’t know that you had a stroke. I’m sorry to hear that, but I’m so happy that you made a full recovery. You’re a lucky man 😊. As for the waters, I don’t drink any of them. I only drink just plain ole water 😁. Great review as always. Have a great night!! ❤️
The numbers you're quoting are for each serving. So each manufacturer makes their own serving size. Each bottle most likely has multiple servings. That could make the sugar/sweetener content numbers misleading.
each serving size was 1 bottle. there were no multiple servings per container
Cool! Thanks for clarifying.
That Neuro bottle looks like a exotic febreeze can LMAO
I knew it - Monster is bad!
'Sonic' Tea w/lemon is the bomb-diggity!
I was aware of side effects in children with the consumption of aspartame, but not about joint pain in adults. I drink a lot of diet pop and flavored water, and am getting old enough so that joint pain is starting to become an issue, so I will definitely want to read the ingredient labels on these beverages in future!

Guarana has more caffeine in it than coffee.
I knew something was wrong when I drank an energy drink and it made my heart beat so fast that I said nope, not for me.
I had a neighbor who died of a heart attack also from energy drinks. So so bad for you. Please guys and gals listen to Jack, he knows what's up.
I saw a water comparison for alkalinity (acidic or base) acidic isn't very good for you. Propel was tested and it was acidic.
Love your knowledge of what's in the products! Thanks so much for the great video!
What knowledge? He said splenda was healthier than real coconut water. He doesn't know anything.
I also like the ice black raspberry and the zero water
How about doing buying grocery on line, Walmart, Amazon, Jet. I have used all and don't order anything breakable from Walmart, bottles, bags have come broken more times than should and they got orders wrong. Amazon was ok but limited in selection, pricey and year member fee and only getting free shipping on $50+ isn't worth it but meat was good and all arrived undamaged and on time.

Ur cool, Jack.
Thank god i find energy drinks nasty as hell.
