What You Should Know

You'd spot this lemon-lime sparkling water in the refrigerated beverage aisle or grab a can from a cooler at a picnic or gym; it's the zero-calorie, fizzy alternative to soda. The vibe is crisp and refreshing—practical and slightly indulgent as a flavored hydration pick. Despite the short ingredient list, the industrial carbonation and the listing of “natural flavors” point to added flavoring steps and processing consistent with ultra-processed products.
