Glaceau vitaminwater在香港曾經有一陣的噪音,因為被推廣為一種健康的飲品。
但幾年過去,好像沒有很多人或在媒體說喜歡它,或現在繼續有飲它。
某日,在連鎖超市看到Glaceau vitaminwater的推廣陳列櫃,看見搶眼的海報,使我對它有一陣興趣,究竟是甚麼葫蘆呢?
上網看看,原來有一篇 '5 Reasons Why Vitaminwater is a Bad Idea' 的文章,寫得很詳細,有差不多34萬點擊。
Glaceau vitaminwater是可口可樂的一隻產品,被推廣為含有維他命和礦物質的健康飲品。但其實,看深一層,便知道它是一隻不健康的飲品,包含差不多可口可樂的一半糖份。而添加的糖,fructose,如果過量,會引發各種健康問題。它只是另一隻糖份飲品。其實,它提供的甚麼微量營養,普通人平時都可以在飲食中得到,而不需要飲下額外的糖份來得到這些微量營養。所以,飲前要三思。
以下是文章其中一些章節。
Vitaminwater is Not Healthy – It is Just Another Harmful Sugary Beverage
The owners (The Coca-Cola Company) have actually been sued for deceptive and unsubstantiated health claims about Vitaminwater.
Their response was interesting: “no reasonable person would be misled into thinking that Vitaminwater was a healthy beverage”.
They are actually trying to defend themselves by saying that the health promoting claims are so far fetched that people couldn’t possibly believe them.
The problem is that many people do actually fall for marketing claims.
Most people don’t read ingredient labels, and don't realize how unethical and ruthless the junk food companies can be.
Despite the fancy marketing, Vitaminwater is a harmful, disease-promoting beverage that most people should be avoiding as much as possible.
At best, it is just a slightly “less bad” version of Coke.
