“Wellness” is the trend-word of the decade, that’s pretty obvious. And since the day I saw “Wellness Catfood” on the shelf of my local mall I knew there was something fishy going on (no pun intended).

A recent test by the Austrian Chamber of Labour now discovered what many people already have guessed. The amount of sugar in the wellness drinks you can buy everywhere nowadays is not much different than that in other limonades or ice teas.

• Limonades contain an average of 25 to 35 pieces of lump-sugar per liter (one gallon = 3.8 liters)
• Ice teas contain 17-25 lump-sugar pieces per liter
• Wellness drinks contain seven to 17 lump-sugar pieces per liter

Even what is sold as “light” drinks is majorly sweetened. Often when the product mainly uses artificial sweetener they often (not always) add sugar to the drink. Up to 3-4 pieces of lump-sugar are added in wellness drinks that advertise with artificial sweetener.

Do not believe the hype. Living healthy sometimes takes some carefulness.

Related to this I looked around on the internet. I don’t like the idea of just exposing a problem without offering a solution.

So, how do you make sure what you drink is actually good for you? Read this:

Water is key to Wellness. Drink it!!! - “[…]Water is the primary ingredient in all bodily fluids including our blood supply, lymph, saliva plus others. Water constitutes 92% of our blood and nearly 98% of our intestinal gastric saliva and pancreatic juices. Water is vital ingredient in the functioning of our body’s 100 trillion cells.[…]”
