What you need to know:

Here is the ingredient list:

Water, Citric Acid, Propylene Glycol, Malic Acid, Contains Less than 2% of Natural Flavor, Sucralose and Acesulfame Potassium (Sweeteners), Potassium Citrate, Red 40, Blue 1, Potassium Sorbate (Preservative).

What are you getting here? Propylene Glycol is a clear and slightly bitter liquid that is used to prevent discoloration of foods during storage. It has been shown to cause various diseases in animal studies when consumed in large quantities.

Acesulfame Potassium is a fake sweetener that is potentially carcinogenic.

?Natural Flavor? with fake colors to cause you to imagine the berries depicted on the package. Unfortunately those artificial colors may cause cancer and hyperactivity too.

Last but not least, potassium sorbate is a mold inhibitor ? it allows this product to sit on a shelf for months.

So, Mio is a gobbledegook of chemicals designed to entice consumers, but mostly to increase Kraft profits.

Really Kraft, is this the best you could do?

What we do not like about Mio Liquid Water Enhancer

Preservatives and artificial colorings. To maintain color and freshness, MiO does use certain preservatives and artificial colorings, including propylene glycol. Propylene glycol is a solvent used in many pharmaceuticals, including oral, inject able and topical formulations. It is also used in automatic brake and hydraulic fluid and industrial antifreeze. The Material Safety Data Sheet for propylene glycol warns users to avoid skin contact with propylene glycol as this strong skin irritant can cause liver abnormalities and kidney damage. Although the FDA says it is safe, we do not buy into the fact that propylene glycol is actually good for you.
