But here is what I have concluded so far: I would stick to simple sugar (sucrose) over HFCS whenever possible. Moreover, try to cut your sugar consumption as best you can, as those empty calories don’t do your body much good except provide a very temporary energy boost. The long term effects of sugar are for my book and later posts, but sugar does nothing good for your aging. There is intriguing research suggesting that sugar damages our skin proteins, and is one reason for diminished elasticity of our skin as we get older, and…premature wrinkling.

According to an article by CareFair.com, physicians tend to note that the vitamin-enriched water also tends to contain caffeine, calories, artificial sweeteners and additives. For the brands evaluated for this article, Borba Age-Defying Skin Balance Water is free of caffeine and calories, and contains only “natural flavors.” On the other hand, Glaceau Vitamin Water: xxx (Triple Antioxidants) contains no caffeine or artificial sweeteners, but delivers 50 calories per 8 floz., or 125 calories per 20 oz. bottle, and 13 grams of sugar per 8 floz (32.5 grams per 20 oz. bottle, nearly the 40 grams recommended per day!).
