Although benefits may be associated, the bad most likely outweighs the good. A few benefits may be associated, but the bad outweighs the good. Moderation is extremely important. Very few, if any, benefits are present. Things in this category should be avoided as much as possible. Category 'D' is typically for things that are more harmful than beneficial. Things placed into this category are generally a neither good nor bad for you, or b lack the necessary evidence to reach any conclusions. MiO is a relatively recent development in the beverage world.
It is packaged in a small, 1. MiO is actually owned by Kraft Foods. Each line has a unique quality. MiO Original has a long list of flavors and does not report to have any extra benefits, other than added taste.
MiO Energy offers a boost of caffeine to give consumers a pick-me-up; this line even has coffee-flavored options. MiO Fit is designed to replace your sports drink with its extra electrolytes and B vitamins.
Finally, MiO Vitamins strives to give consumers an extra lift of nutrients through the addition of three different B vitamins B3, B6, and B MiO is an extremely concentrated liquid containing some chemical ingredients.
You can find various artificial colors, associated with hyperactivity, distractibility, carcinogens, numerous allergies, and much more—depending on the specific colors added. The three artificial sweeteners within the beverage enhancers pose grave concerns. MiO uses Sucralose Splenda , as its primary sweetener. It is produced by chlorinating white sugar, but this process gives sucralose added problems like heavy metals.
The majority of sucralose is not absorbed by the body, which is why it is considered a non-caloric sweetener, but whatever is absorbed by the body concentrates in the kidneys, liver, and GI gastrointestinal tract. Long-term use of this sweetener could, therefore, cause problems like immune dysfunction, birth defects, and cancer. As with many artificial sweeteners, it has not been studied long enough to conclusively determine all of the long-term effects. Acesulfame potassium Ace-K has a lot of controversy swirling around it.
The research remains inconclusive on the effects on humans. This sweetener is usually paired up with another sweetener that often has a worse reputation. Guilty by association? There has been some inconclusive evidence involving mice, pointing to neurological damage being a possible side effect. Stevia is a sweet powder formed on the leaves of an herb. The labeling of the product is deceptive. Despite their strong sweet taste and lack of calories, their use remains controversial — and their health benefits and environmental safety are often questioned.
For instance, a review showed that Ace-K remains in the environment for a long time. Further human research is needed to determine if it also has detrimental health effects in humans 8. However, both animal and human studies have now shown that sucralose is partially digested and alters blood glucose and insulin 9. Further, a small mouse study suggests that sucralose may be a weak mutagenic. A mutagenic agent may increase the risk of DNA mutations and cancer in your body.
Still, long-term research in humans is needed to determine if these findings apply to humans 9 , Meanwhile, Stevia is plant-based. Stevia is the least studied LCNS to date. The artificial sweeteners Ace-K and sucralose in MiO have been shown to affect blood sugar and insulin levels and disrupt the gut microbiome. On the other hand, the plant-based sweetener Stevia has potential health benefits. Based on current research, opting for the Stevia-sweetened versions may pose the lowest risks.
This is because the health impact of the other artificial sweeteners used — Ace-K and sucralose — continue to be investigated. When deciding if MiO is a good fit for you and whether you can drink it daily, your overall diet and health should also be taken into consideration.
Still, keep in mind that the use of MiO is unnecessary. Using this product is not the most natural way to increase your water intake. There are many ways to naturally flavor water without adding any artificial sweeteners, colors, or preservatives — like those found in MiO. For example, try sparkling water or fruit and herb infusions. If you try making fruit infusions, let the ingredients steep for about 4 hours. Try infusing water with fruit and herbs for a flavorful alternative to plain water.
MiO is a concentrated liquid intended to add flavor to water. It may help you drink more water throughout the day without adding extra sugars or calories. Most of its products contain artificial sweeteners called acesulfame potassium Ace-K and sucralose. This brings their environmental safety and health benefits into question as these sweeteners remain controversial food additives.
Overall, whether or not you choose MiO is up to you. Is it possible for carbonated water to spark an appetite? Does that defeat the purpose of flavored water? Artificial sweeteners like aspartame have received a lot of negative publicity.
It is used as a sweetener in some Mio products. Many Mio products contain a preservative called potassium sorbate. Some studies have demonstrated that the consumption of this chemical could be linked to compromise of the immune system, and is capable of leading to mutations of blood cells and damage of human DNA.
Some effects of potassium sorbate may include nutrient loss in food, nausea, allergic reactions, and diarrhea. Another ingredient in Mio is a form of mineral oil called propylene glycol. It is added to Mio to help prevent discoloration of the product during storage.
Propylene glycol is known for its use in polyester and antifreeze production. People prone to eczema might find their condition aggravated by this ingredient. Also, studies using animals have shown that serious health problems might develop as a result of long-term consumption of propylene glycol. Among the possible long-term side effects of Mio may include cancer, cell mutation, birth defects, impaired neurological function, and immune dysfunction.
Cell mutation is a worrying occurrence, as it is through that process that dangerous and potentially lethal cancer can begin to develop. Cancer begins when there are changes mutations in a cell or a group of cells.
A tumor can grow when there are problems with the signals that should be sent by and between cells regarding instructions for cell division and production, and there is excess growth. A mutation occurs when a change occurs in the genes in the process of cell division. Mutations can have many different potential causes including, for example, external factors such as the ingestion of harmful chemicals, or internal ones such as internal cell processes.
While it is true that the body can often repair damage to genes especially when we are young , damage is capable of building up over time. If even after learning what you have in this article you still want to have Mio, you should stick to only very occasional use.
