QuestionI was just wondering if no calorie flavored water did the same thing for weight-loss as regular tap water. Also at the cellular level? Which is better for you?
AnswerThere is significant evidence that shows that no calorie sweeteners can actually cause weight gain. I would stick to plain water - or if you are looking for flavor, there are waters that are flavored, but not sweetened. Brands like Hint have 0 calories per serving but have a light yummy flavor, without the chemicals.
