Vitamin Water taken to task for dubious claims

How do you get your vitamins? From vegetables, fruit or in liquid form?

Vitamin Water is just one of many brands promising fortified water, but nutritionists warn the vitamins don’t stack up against the high sugar content, and that consumers need to be informed.

“I wouldn’t say this is an alternative for a multivitamin at all. It’s not complete. There are no age specific recommendations per product so it’s hard to say,” said Dr. Kelly Anne Erdman.

Vitamin water contains 33 grams of sugar in each bottle and its owner, Coca-Cola, is currently being served a class action lawsuit for deceptive claims.
