Vitaminwater\u2019s \u201cPower-C\u201d flavor, for instance, claims to deliver \u201czinc and vitamin C to power your immune system,\u201d while the \u201cXXX\u201d flavor is branded as containing\u00a0<strong>\u201cantioxidant vitamins<\/strong>\u00a0to help fight free radicals and help support your body.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Both claims are an immense exaggeration, as these two vitaminwater products are composed primarily of water, sugar, and a handful of\u00a0<strong>synthetic vitamins,<\/strong>\u00a0which is hardly a recipe for robust immunity. And yet this is the overall image being portrayed by Coca-Cola for its vitaminwater line of beverages, which is really nothing more than glorified soda pop without carbonation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe marketing of vitaminwater will go down in history as one of the boldest and brashest attempts ever to affix a healthy halo to what is essentially a junk food, a non-carbonated soda,\u201d says\u00a0<strong>Michael F.
