What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the beverage or natural foods aisle, or grab a chilled can when you want a light, organic-feeling caffeine lift on the go. It gives off a health-forward, modern vibe—low-calorie and 'clean label'—but is designed to deliver quick energy and refreshment. The mix of sparkling water with added sugars, concentrated juices, natural flavors and botanical extracts points to an industrially formulated, fizzy product typical of ultraprocessed beverages.
