Vitamin WaterBefore you throw out your regular vitamins, you might want to read the label on one of these drinks very carefully. Take Glacéau Vitaminwater Essential Orange Carrot. The label claims that it packs a "megadose of vitamins and minerals from A all the way through zinc." A closer look reveals that the $1.49 bottle delivers 100 calories but only between 2 percent and 50 percent of the daily value of 12 vitamins and minerals. Essentials, including folic acid and vitamin D and Bi, are missing, too. |
