| Vitamins in Flavored Water
All natural vitamins are organic food substances found only in living things, that is, plants and animals. With few exceptions the body cannot manufacture or synthesize vitamins. They must be supplied in the diet or in dietary supplements. Vitamins are essential to the normal functioning of our bodies. They are necessary for our growth, vitality, and general well-being. A lot of people think vitamins can replace food. They cannot. In fact, vitamins cannot be assimilated without ingesting food. That is why we suggest taking them with a meal. Vitamins help regulate metabolism, help convert fat and carbohydrates into energy, and assist in forming bone and tissue |

Cyclamate Cyclamate was introduced into beverages and foods in the early 1950's, and it dominated the artificial sweetener market through most of the 1960s. But in 1968, the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) told FDA that, although consumption of reasonable quantities of cyclamate probably posed no hazard to humans, additional studies were needed to resolve various aspects of cyclamate's safety.
