If you add things like crystal light to your water, do you still consider that a glass of water??
Answers: No...once the chemical composition is altered it is no longer a glass of water.
no, technically would be juice drink or soft drink, i think
no, bcs everything else has water int it, but jus with a whole lot of other stuff in it
yes and no it is not a pure glass of water.... but yet it is still just flavored water.....
Well, you still get the advantages of drinking water
um no it would be crystal light then..........c'mon now how old are you???
yeah, its now a glass of water with crystal
LOL...No!
yes
Yes, it is still considered a glass of water but the sugars and other things are considered sweets...so you are kind of putting frosting on your salad. Its better than soda, but not as healthy as a normal untainted glass of water.
Yes. Crystal Light and Kool-Aid and Lemonade are non-chemical reactions. They are merely fine granules that dissolve and become suspended among the water. It is still water, just with extra stuff in it (like sugar).
All of the water is still there and unchanged.
Crystal Light causes cancer.
Dont drink that garbage.
no you would alter the chemical make up once you put the crystal light in their, no longer water, it would be a juice or something like that!!!
No i would consider it like juice or osmething like that. Just like when you add kool-aid to water or lemonade mis or osmething like that its not water anymore.
no , i add lemon juice or you could use lime juice. Still completely sugar free.
It's still better to drink pure water, but yes, it is still considered a glass of water if you put Crystal Light powder in it.
if it relates to the 6 to 8 glasses of water, then yes it counts as one of them.
if you're just being technical then no, it's now a drink.
if you put the crystal light in water
do you consider iced tea water?
at a restaurant they don't
or lemonade
so i guess not
Sure. It's a glass of water plus some powder, so it still counts as a glass of water. Be careful with carbonated beverages though...their water content is not as easily absorbed so more of it just goes through you.
So, for example, it wouldn't be a good idea to drink 8 glasses of soda instead of water because 1) you're getting a lot of unnecessary stuff with your water and 2) you're not actually going to absorb it all (you will spend a lot of time traveling to and from the bathroom though :-)
For nutritional purposes, yes, it still counts as one of your eight glasses of water per day. Crystal Light doesn't contain sugars or anything like that, but only artificial flavoring to make the water taste better. It doesn't count as juice because it doesn't come from fruit, nor contain any sugars of any sort. It is not carbonated, so doesn't count as a soda. No caffeine, either. It may not technically be just a glass of water, but if you're counting the number of glasses of water you're drinking each day, that counts.
if you are trying to drink 8 glasses of water a day it still counts as 1 because it is still 99% water
yes
If it is a diuretic (something that makes you have to urinate) then it doesn't count as a glass of water, because it will only dehydrate you. (i.e. coffee, tea, etc.)
No, its crystal lite then.
yes, it still a full glass of water with flavor added the water still exists.
omygod it would so still be a glass of water your just flavoring it you won't be changing any of the chemicals involved in making water water
No.
justwebbrowsing is correct, adding the powder to the water does not cause a chemical reaction. (Anyone else here taken basic chemistry? Yes, there is a color change, you are adding something colored to the water, there will be color to the water this is normal – not a “color change reaction” – So, no color change, no solid formed, no bubbles or fumes? No? Then there is no chemical reaction)
Ok, I'm done with that tangent. Anyway, if you can't stand to drink the water straight you can add flavoring to it, you are not adding caffeine (which would reduce the benefits of water) nor are you adding sugar, but you are adding an artificial sweetener which is a chemical that in the long run may not be that great for you. So, to answer your question:
Adding Crystal Light to the water can still be condisidered as drinking water, as far as the additional fluids will still keep you hydrated flush out your system, but you are adding unnecessary chemicals to your diet.
For me personally, if it were between not drinking water at all (or very little) vs. drinking Crystal Light and drinking my 6-8 glasses a day, I would drink the Crystal Light, but try to drink as much unflavored/unchanged water as possible.
Cheers and Good Luck!
I would think so.
