This drink is said to contain 0 calories and is naturally sweetened. Also, the nutrition label states that the drink contains 100% of your daily value of Vitamin C. It also contains other vitamins like E, B5, and B6. I notice that a lot of foods, such as cereal, have vitamins added to them now. How come all these vitamins are added in other foods now? Are we not getting enough nutrition from the foods at we eat?

In Bodley's book, he states that malnutrition from over-consumption is often accompanied by vitamins and minerals deficiency. However, the consumer should be aware that he or she should still take note of the amount that is be consumed throughout the day.

When you read the label, it states that the drink contains 100% of your daily value of Vitamin C. However, a 2009 article from the BBC stated that too much Vitamin C, or any other antioxidants
may be harmful to your body.

Consumers are just fed the idea that all these supplements can help your body. However, Dr. Sarah Aldred from University of Birmingham states, "Sometimes we need to consider whether taking supplements is actually beneficial."
