Probably Already Discovered But Now Discovered By Me (yes, im italian) #1

I was drinking Propel (berry flavored) when my tongue starting hurting and I started tasting blood. Now, obviously, this drink isn’t “good” for you but it of course presents itself as one so I looked up if it’s good for you. (https://www.iamgoingvegan.com/is-propel-water-healthy/). Found out it’s super unhealthy and resists insulin. My diabetic dad is bringing these home from work for us. And now I gotta text my mom to tell her to tell him to stop getting them, because he refuses to take care of himself so his wife and kids have to. Already bad with Propel. Now, I’m thinking okay so why does it hurt my tongue? (http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?t=33861019). So I look it up. Found some people talking about it causing itching on the face and apparently it has warnings about that on the label (I can’t find that so it must be an old version or something). Another guy there says it causes his tongue to hurt and bleed. Mine did too. I didn’t see blood but was also able to taste it. So what’s up with that? Then, I think, well after a couple minutes I feel fine but immediately after drinking my mouth is really dry. Of course resulting in drinking more. I know some water companies do this, they make it salty so you have to drink more (Dasani). So, I’m guessing Propel (of course) does it too, to make you drink more (while also presenting as a healthy drink). Now, I’m not a fast drinker. I don’t even like to drink, I do force myself to drink 2-3 bottles of water a day so I don’t get dehydrated (which I know by having bad headaches), but it’s not my thing to chug down a gallon a day. With Propel, I seem to start and immediately finish. It’s crazy how fast it goes. I look up why it dries my mouth. (https://www.reddit.com/r/NoStupidQuestions/comments/e6mmid/why_does_water_make_me_thirstier/). It was explained in a way that I can’t explain so you can see it through the link. Someone else said it was snake oil which confused me a bit. (https://www.thefitnessskeptic.com/blog/2018/3/18/fit-water-the-definition-of-mainstream-snake-oil). In the end, Propel isn’t healthy at all for you. This is probably already obvious but here’s just some of the facts I’ve found, so, yeah, it’s probably a good idea to stick to water.
