Best Water To Buy At The Grocery Store - Alkaline, Flavored, Electrolyte, & More!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 июл 2024
- There's lot of water options at the grocery store now, but I want to show you which ones are the best, and which ones you want to avoid. First let's talk about the importance of drinking alkaline bottled water, and which brands you can buy that are alkaline. There are many flavored waters on the market, but almost all of the them have natural favors added, which are not natural at all. Many of the electrolyte waters at the store have added sweetener, colors, and flavors. Lastly, we also talk about flavored water drops, which I just I want you to avoid. Mad love Bobby...Dessi...and Art! XOXO

I love to watch your videos because they reinforce my knowledge through out the years about food ingredients and nutrition facts that it started my journey when I was pregnant 19 years ago. I have been shopping for my family paying attention to ingredients that I can’t pronounce and I was terrified to find out the stuff that is in our food. My kids now teens think I was crazy but now they can see for themselves how the choices I made a while back have paid off. Thanks God they are growing up strong and healthy. So sad that most foods are made for business purposes. Then we ask ourselves why there is so many diseases and obesity in this country. Terrible!!!
Thank you for your great videos. !!!!
Your body regulates naturally if it didn’t you die it has to stay at a neutral
I have stopped buying bottled water and instead bought a Zero Water pitcher which has a 5 step filtration process, it tastes great and you don't have to buy water and lug it around and also better for the environment.
I bought one too...
Zero water is great and I have one too....good to add minerals to your diet.
Does zero water remove fluoride?
It does remove fluoride
Next, do best water filters to use/buy
I use Zero Water filters. Love them
Berkey.
@@riverunner9978 Same...........fabulous filter.
Zildjian has come
Zildjian has come up from here in my life so please
One of the most important water videos on the internet.
I drink Deer Park spring water and Giant brand spring water in plastic bottles sadly.
I am very grateful you mentioned the toxicity of splenda/sucrolose and I would add aspartame is just as bad.
I was surprised natural flavors actually means UN natural flavors and should be completely avoided if possible.
But this level of food industry deceit does not surprise me.
They actually put a genuine poison, aspartame , in the food supply because it is so addictive and cheap.
Thank you for the fantastic information.
Keep up the great work.
Bobby I found Great Value HYDRATE ALKALINE bottled water at Wal Mart. 9.5ph or higher purified water with electrolytes for taste. Each bottle is 33.8 fl. oz. and it comes as a six pack for $5 and change.
Good Job FlavCity team!!! Thanks for the deets and intel!
Thank you Bobby for the effort and trouble you go through to record this videos in stores .. I am new to your channel I absolutely love it!
Bobby: Have you considered simply adding ½ a teaspoon of baking soda to a gallon of purified or distilled water and shaking it vigorously to ensure it mixes in completely to generate very inexpensive alkaline water? Then store it in you favorite glass drinking container in the fridge to take with you on the go.
Make sure the baking soda is aluminum free.
@@Ricci-om3mn baking powder has aluminum. Not baking soda .
@justinpeck2217 actually that's not true they both can have aluminum.
I buy none aluminated soda and powder.
@@Ricci-om3mn They put the non-aluminum in the baking soda is just a sale ploy … there’s really actually no aluminum in it, it just says “ aluminum free.”
Just like chicken will say “hormone free” when in actuality it’s illegal to use hormones on any animal sourced food in the United States.
It’s really no different than putting a heart on the box of Cheerios, saying it’s heart healthy!
I could make a product like milk and write “aluminum free” on it. Then people would think it’s healthier than normal milk because it says “aluminum free.” It’s a marketing trick without lying ….
Thank you! You and Art work so hard on these videos, we appreciate you. 😊
I miss Art.
I have seen a total of 11 of his videos. I Have Become more educated on products in 7 videos. Then all that time at Kaiser. It makes more sense looking at this young man and all his hard work. Very well done👌🍦🍩🍪☕ I appreciate this video. I have seen studies on alkaline water. In Japan they use it to heal people. Thank you for the brand suggestions I really appreciate it
GOOD MORNING BOBBY! THANK YOU SO MUCH! IT'S A BIG HELP YOU ARE SO SMART AND SO KIND TO HELP US YOU ARE FANTASTIC.
[1:11] I use to run a Dasani production line, and when we had just put in a brand new machine that could throw out 500,000 bottles in a 12 hour shift that machine took production costs from ten cents a case to fifty cents.
This is so good Bobby. Thanks for he awesome information its priceless. Blessings!
Love these videos thanks for helping us on our healthy better eating journey 🎉💪👏
Bobby, great videos, I just found you guys like two weeks ago, and I haven’t stopped watching since! Keep up the great work guys!
One question from this video:
What under sink system are you using for your alkaline water treatment?
Thanks so much in advance!
What filtration system do you use on ur sink Bobbi?!
I appreciate these videos soooo much! Thank you guys!!
My local Sprouts just got Collagen Water this week. I bought one to try and they taste good. Thanks for another great video. I’ll stick to my filtered water at home though. Save money and the earth and my body from plastic. But if I’m ever in a pinch and absolutely need to buy water or for emergency purposes, then I know what to get. Thank you
Vital proteins collagen water is also sold at target now. At least in Southern California
I do agree that these ‘premium’ waters are cleaner and better than the basic cheap brands at the stores but the average person can’t afford to pay 3-4 bucks a bottle everyday. I’m trying to figure out the best option for myself as I drink A TON of water during our brutal South Carolina summers.
Water filter on your tap
Have you found anything yet because I was thinking the same thing
@@smashmouthfishing4896 reverse osmosis water filter
I bought several cases of Fiji water on 2 separate occasions about a year apart from each incident that tasted like perfume. Or maybe moss or something. I don't buy it anymore though. No problem with Evian though. This was such a great and informative video. Thanks so much!!❤️
i heard that Fiji has fluoride...i heard that years ago...i don't know about it.. .Evamor is a good water with very high PH, and apparently some of the Hawaiian volcanic waters are supposed to be good, and supposedly sometimes heal small issues in the body, but expensive...Both are very expensive....
Fiji is no bueno, lot's of fluoride.
I agree with metalplauge. The search for the best water filter system (pitcher or RO) is overwhelming. Heeeeelp!
Great informative video, things I have always wondered about. Thank you
My fave is Just water. I really like how it taste, even compared to Evian.
Take some ACV daily. Helps with PH levels. TopoChico is outstanding when mixed with ACV and splash of salt. Great educational video. Bobby PSA🙌🏽💪🏾
Yasss I’ve been waiting for this!!!
I love your videos thank you! I’m now checking all my products and buying organic food...
Thanks for an informative video, as usual. But I’m surprised you recommended purchasing electrolyte additives. As a physician and runner, I would suggest adding to a gallon of water: 1 cup lemon juice , 1/2 cup of honey, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. Much healthier.
The information you share with your viewers is so important. Keep up the great work!
What does your recipe make? Electrolyte water? How long will it last? Do you store it in fridge or not? Thanks.
It makes a fluid replacement drink. It lasts a week in the fridge
@@robertlaufer799thank you. Does the honey make it high in calories? Does your concoction taste like lemonade?
I only just discovered your channel this month, but man!!! I’m glad I subscribed! You and Art are Killing it!! Pumping out videos likes crazy! Super informative! Keep up the good work! 👊🏽💪🏽👏🏽
Before I watch this video today, I purchased two 5 gallon water bottles from Mountain Valley Spring water. They deliver to my house. Am I correct in saying that all the minerals are intact with Mountain Valley Spring water versus reverse osmosis? Does reverse osmosis take out the fluoride in your water? There is some mynute amount of natural fluoride in Mountain Valley Spring water.
7.0 pH is neutral. Therefore anything over 7.0 is : "alkaline." But we're talking very tiny degrees of measurement and I can't imagine it means much. Anything between 6.5 pH and 7.8 pH is perfectly acceptable. Chicago water comes in around 7.4 - 7.7; New York City water out of the tap is around 6.6 - 6.8. Further, pH is only half the story. There is "hardness" to consider. More reading is needed.
Bobby doesn't know too much about water, I just watched a video and there's plenty of other things to measure instead of just looking at PH
Bobby thank you so much for doing this water video (that I know I have been bugging you to doway more than I ever had any right to :))) ) So very much appreciated!!!
Flavcity Security! LOL. My company gave each of us two cases of Zephyrhills spring water as we prepare for Dorian. Thanks to you, now I know why I've never liked the cheap waters!
what alkaline water pitcher filter do you recommend ? I just bought one on Amazon Ehm brand
Question. I've been a life long Soda drinker, but now hitting 30 i decided to get away from the soda's and i switched to Sunny Select Sparkling Water Beverages. Sure they have "Natural Flavors" but otherwise the back says no sugar or much of anything else really. Is this a better alternative? did i make the right choice? Any thoughts or advice would be nice.
P.S i also drink regular bottled water too, so far the brand i have of that is "Nestle Pure Life"
Found Spindrift at Frys/Kroger after your last video about sparkling water. Haven't tried it yet (I drink mainly coffee, tea and filtered water) but the raspberry/lime sounded refreshing so purchased it. Expensive but I only drink about one a week. Thanks for all you do.
Frugally Retired try the Blackberry, it's the bomb
$40 for a 12 pack of that mountain valley spring water wtf you have to be crazy to pay that. Must be for millionaires
It's much cheaper in person. Shipping is expensive...
It is crazy because Gerosteiner is cheaper and have more mineral contents.
I use crystal clear water from them on Delaware Ave and they have the mountain spring water and I tried it. Baby girl and I don't like it lol
The co-op in my city sells those big bottles of mountain valley spring water for 3 bucks each
Maybe try another brand but it’ll be ok. You and your health are worth it.
Thank you, great info!!
Any opinions on Ultima Replenisher electrolyte powder? It says it uses real fruit flavor and plant-based colors but I don’t know if that is the same as “natural flavors” as far as ingredients lists go. Thanks! And thank you for the videos!
Dear Bobby thank you for sharing always. I would like to know which gallon water I can use for making food.
Thanks.
The confused shoppers in front of the water display says it all!
Just found your channel, great work. You mentioned under the sink alkaline filtration system, any recommendations?
Thanks Bobby. This was super helpful
Thank you Bobby !! I appreciate your reviews !!!
I would love to know Bobby's grocery bill each month - assuming he actually buys all the premium, organic, grass fed, pasture raised stuff he endorses as the best.
I buy all of that and my grocery bill is $600 a month for a family of 3. There are alternatives to meat. We don’t eat meat at every meal. We rarely eat out, and I make as much as I can from scratch. So $600 covers 3 meals a day, 7 days a week and snacks (like fruit or crackers).
@@gretagordon9512 what grocery store do you go to if you don't mind asking?
@@gretagordon9512 Nice, I spend at least that on myself.
he isnt buying on a budget like most viewers, so is bill would be larger than anyones. People watching should know how to budget, even with these items, you do learn which ones you can or do need to buy each week or wait the next. And it comes out about the same price. Cheers
Greta Gordon I took meat out of my diet and now I'm saving 500 a month.... crazy.
I got caught up in the Bubly water phase. Thought I was doing something good for myself since it's "water". Included in the natural flaroring is a ton of citric acid! I woke up with the worst migraine I've ever had in my life and the only thing I had done differently was drank several Bubly's the day before.
Hi Bobby, I’m wondering what your thoughts are on Aqua Panna water? It’s 8 ph and in a glass bottle.
Didn't know core water was a better water. I would buy it when on long drives because the wide flip top bottle is easier to handle while driving.
Bobby, do more research. Do you really think that your alkaline water is going to change the acidity of your stomach acids? Would you rather your stomach was 9.0 alkaline so that it can't digest food? A person's blood is in the range of 7.35 - 7.45. How does any water change any of that?
With that said, I want water and just the most pure water that nature has.
Thats what matters most to me. Just pure water with the minerals that nature provided and nothing added like pestacides, added flavoring for taste, lead. Just healthy water.
Thank you! Your stomach acid depletes everything before it hits your blood stream. I’m questioning past videos now,...
kelperdude I wonder how much high alkaline water do you have to drink to affect your digestion? I generally use high alkaline water in my coffee because someone told me you don’t get that nauseous feeling that I sometime get from coffee.
He doesn't use any science backing up anything. So take his whole channel with a huge grain of salt
Yes I actually read somewhere that distilled water is best you could ever drink! Idk if there's any truth to that though...
i agree about mountain valley being the best- glass bottle, source seems legit. it’s sold at whole foods
Hi Bobby. Thank you for your videos. You have revolutionized my grocery shopping! When I saw this video, I was a little shocked that you have bought into the alkaline water hype of the early 2010s and actually have an alkalizing home water filter and felt compelled to leave a comment. What do you think your stomach acid does to the alkaline water? When you’re as young as you are (mid 40s), the alkalinity probably won’t hurt you because your produce enough stomach acid to neutralize the alkalinity and it is just a hype at this point. When you are older, however, and may have low stomach acid and digestion issues as many older folks do, then the alkaline water is just like chewing antacid tablets during or after a meal. It interferes with digestion, interferes with nutrient and medication absorption, and creates heartburn in some folks. I am not a fan of drinking acid water but plain water is what nature has intended for us to drink. You may have seen those tests where they put a piece of fruit in alkaline water and show you how it will stay fresh and not rot for many, many hours vs one not placed in alkaline water and from that, they conclude it keeps your cells young. That may happen to a few cells that absorb the water right out of the mouth but then again you have the stomach acid that will either neutralize it or IT will disrupt the digestive process. Trust me you do not want the fruit to stay fresh going thru your digestive tract any way. And unless your were directly injecting yourself with something alkaline, there is no way for you to increase your body’s PH thru ingestion of alkaline water. Ask a doctor! Please make a video and let us know what you think. ❤️
Thank you! My dad bought into this too. I did alkaline only water for one semester and it was horrible.
I agree with you about the alkaline water I watch Dr Eric Berg's videos and he said the same thing that you said about the alkaline water.
I love Mountain Valley water and buy it occasionally. But I have a Berkey and filter the water I drink and use for cooking through it. I do not like water in plastic bottles--only drink it when nothing else is available. Thanks for the review.
I get Ice mountain or Chippewa.
Bobby what about doing a video on cold coffees.
What is your take on Bulletproof Coffee with collagen protein?
coffee coming next month! i love that company, i have to check but they make some really clean products.
Im looking forward to the coffee video as well.
I like that collagen bulletproof coffee. I keep it in the fridge and I'll have a swallow of it every once in awhile Throughout my day, if I didn't get a chance to make my coffee in the morning. I won't guzzle the whole thing, cuz it's definitely in the realm of meal replacement if I drink the whole thing.
The mocha collagen flavor has the best macro breakdown in my opinion. I wish they made one without sweetener, I don't like sweet tastes ☺️
Can you do a video about collagen? Why supplement and what kind.
Great video! yet what do you recommend the families and people in general that cannot afford to buy any of those expensive waters? A specific filter? Is the filter of the refrigerator good enough ? Would like to see more videos that meet the needs of people not just in the high end income but in the medium low income. Thanks
Good question! Following
To answer your question you don't have to do it he just telling you what he recommends you to do if you wanna drink better waters or eat healthy food
You may want to drink eat more healthily but some of us can't afford to.
Thank you for the video..Have a Blessed Day.
Bobby ! I was at the grocery store today and immediately thought about you when I passed by the spices,
would you please review the spices
pretty please 🙏🏻.
I just found you as well. I'm very happy. Just started Keto. My body is seemingly agreeing wholeheartedly with this! I'm very excited. Everything you say makes so much sense and it helps everyone thanks so much for putting in the time. As soon as I figure out how to and where to find the Thrive link I will join that.
I will have to check with my doctor because I'm reading online that keto is bad for your kidneys
I am so grateful for this Video! Thank you!
Love Love Love your videos. I need that cookbook..Pronto
I bought a case of Dansani for a hurricane once because it was all that was left. I tasted one bottle and it was so bitter I couldn't drink it. I took it all back. Most bottled waters are purified tap water. Real spring water is the best and it doesn't matter if it comes in a plastic or glass bottle.
Is there a way to differentiate between naturally alkaline and artificially alkaline water?
Dr. Berg has a video on alkaline water and the potential dangers of artificially alkaline water.
Thanks so much for the info! Really surprising!
Thanks for your tips....I'm working on it 👍🏻
Shared this with my mom and mom in-love. I’ll have to watch again and take notes. I only drink Spring and Core. I may need to order some of these electrolyte drops! Can you share more about this filtration system you have at home? Cost? Where to buy? What exactly it’s good for? Thanks!
0:45 I’ve never in my life seen someone take the shopping basket out of the store with them. I must know what they did with it 😂
I took a look at your hair videos. You should do some resume them. We are in a time where people are looking better ways to do things especially with hair.
@Rhea Nicola....I noticed that too. I was like WTH???!!!. I want to know if he took it back to the store also because there is no place to put those out in the parking lot. LOL.
🤣😂 good catch!!
I'm guessing he either stole it or just put it in a cart in the cart collector.
He is walking a bit fast 🤔😂
Hey Bobby, what collagen supplements can you recommend?
Thank you so much for this bottled water review!!! I am going to look for that Spindrift sparkling water.
Would you add a list that shows what ingredients to watch for when we go shopping so we'll know what products to not buy.
Bobby, can you please do a lip balm review? Thanks for the work you do on behalf of us.
Bobby, if you visit Hot Springs, Arkansas, you can go up in a tower there and the tour guide will tell you all about a Chicago Mob guy that started buying Mountain Vally water. He would send his guys to buy that water and bring it to him in Chicago as it was all he drank. He, also, purportedly stayed at The Arlington Hotel and Spa because it had and still does have a natural hot springs bath house in the bottom of the hotel. As do a select few of places there including a rehabilitation facility that is still there as well. By the way, if you bring your own container you can get free hot or cold hot springs water from the natural springs there on the main street of the town! People love the water!
Looove your videos...and man i realllly wanted to like Spindrift! I bought 2 different flavors, no one in my house liked either of them. They reminded me of the alcoholic seltzers... the blackberry one was ok. I felt there was not enough bubbles. Wasnt very carbonated... thanks for the info about natural flavors tho... the search continues.
I was under the impression that anything above a 7.5 ph is overkill. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
A year and no answer? Guess he's got better things to do than answer an honest question.
What is your recommended collagen regimine?
You are one smart cookie with healthy ingredients of course!!!☺
Thank you for the awesome information!!!
Every time u say Waldo I scream out loud oh shit Art put the camera down!!! 😂
BLeigh Dee ha!!!
spindrift per can is also available at Starbucks
Glad you mentioned BAI water I love it.
please tell us what brand under the sink water filter do you have in your home???? thanks
Bobby, can you link those studies you mentioned saying Alkaline water is important? Seems like it's all marketing BS to me.
You are so right. So is half the "paleo" and "gluten free" junk we sell at the "health food" store where I work.
I think there was one, paid for by one of the companies, with a 100 person sample. Highly scientific! 😜
Thanks for that video I learned so much I will now stop buying the flavored sparking water at Wal-Mart it has hidden splenda fake sugar you have been talking about
You must live alone . Families are struggling to feed their families ? Why don't you help to change regulations in the FDA and Food industry to help families?
Maria Asvestas uh no he doesn’t live alone ...he’s married with a baby..I dont think he has any PULL with the FDA..🙄🙄so if your poor and struggling you are limited to eating crap 💩 ??....talk about victim mentality...if you can’t afford money for bottled water..water filters attached to your faucet is cheaper in the long run..there’s always a way around things stop with the po me expecting the government to help you. Stop being a victim and finally if you disagree with his findings DONT WATCH...
Thank you!!! I love all your videos. I was drinking a “healthy drink” while watching this video and I looked at the ingredients 🤯it has 2 preservatives and surculose. I just spent $50. On 24 cans of this so called healthy drink. 😭
Thank you soooo much i appreciate you going through everything
Hi Bobby, thanks for this information! Whats your opinion on the electrolyte powder Ultima Replenisher Hydrating Electrolyte powder? It has 6 electrolytes and the hi lyte drops have 4...but the Ultima powder also has natural flavors. HELP!!
Hi Bobby purer filters water is good thank you for sharing
Have you actually run the ph test at home with the waters ? Sometimes they market something they don’t do
And they end up being more acidic level doesn’t correspond with the advertised number .... I agree I prefer to buy water in glass bottles than plastic not only for taste but for health reasons. Thanks for the video!
Good idea. I will pick up some test strips.
Bobby, thx for the info. I'm a huge fan. What do you think of zero water?
So, my friend says that the natural flavors in la croix are the terpenes from the fruit or oil. Do you know anything about that? Does that make it ok? Thanks.
Can you do a video about gluten free pasta and flours?
Can you do a video on the best vitamin supplements for us
yes, on my list!
Repent , Jesus Christ is coming back
Repent
Very informative! Thanks for sharing
great job and I learned so much.
Psh, I never buy water! Brita works just fine for me! For electrolytes I just sprinkle in some pink Himalayan salt. Buying any kind of water or flavored water is a huge waste of money to me!
So many things on a shelf are a waste and bad for you 😆 there will always be something new to try , a fad or a diet trend . 😂 it’s all a waste of money but do what makes you happy. To each there own I guess . It’s all about the money to these companies though. We vote with our money . Choose wisely. Pay now or pay later
Yep, being on a budget means I use my zero water filter for absolutely everything. But beware because tea bags can have natural flavorings in them too, something that I didn't realize until I already had them home. But tea bags and cheap filtered water do me just fine, along with some bottled green tea here and there.
arif1979 Brita doesn’t remove any flouride, some other filters claim to remove at least some of it, such as Pur filters I believe.....
@@lockergr Yes! I returned my organic white pomegranate trader Joe's tea boxes because they had natural flavors! Sad.
@@GodBlessDJT977 I haven't seen enough research/studies linking fluoride in tap water causing health problems.
I'm wondering if you tested the water you recommended. I tested several of the brands, and Figi for one didn't pass alkalinity. One that did was Essentia. I am a subscriber and like your videos. It is though important to do testing on these type of products to be sure they are what they say they are.
Alkaline water although safe it isn't really good in excess too. It decreases the natural acidity of the body which is important to kill and expel bacteria and other pathogens.
I’ve watched 3 alkaline testing videos and Fiji is one of the few that was great Ph 👍🏻
You need to learn how to listen he said figi is the best non alkaline water
@@yahboi7556 🤣
Hi Bobby, can you tell us what’s the good chocolate Hazelnut spread for our kids b-coz I checked the ingrindeed most of them has palm oil and natural or artificial flavors.
Bobby, what about assessing and doing a report on Walmart's "Primo Reverse Osmosis Water." Can you find out how often they service the "Primo refillable selfservice water stations" and if the stores keep a calendar record of "When" and 'How Often" the stations are serviced by the vendor? And if they post the maintenance record anywhere in the stores?
Thank you. Would you be able or do you have a category list of all Bobby Approved items? That would be helpful and Great.
working on that now!
What brand is your reverse osmosis filtration system that goes underneath your sink?
I would like to know too.
Yes me too
Awesome video!
Thank you!
Would love to see you talk about condiments…I’m learning so much from you and you are helping me very much, I’m a kidney transplant recipient and following you has helped me keep my slowly failing kidney even longer! Thank you so much…p.s. I’ve downloaded your app and it is my new “ bible”! Thank you.
