Consumer Health Advocacy: Product Analysis

Recently Mercola.com did an excellent exposé entitled Perhaps the Most Toxic "Health" Drinks of the Century, in which Kraft's new "water enhancer" MiO was featured. 

We did our own follow-up analysis using our consumer advocacy label analysis tool and found evidence contradicting Kraft's claim that this product is safe to use by pregnant women and children (and perhaps any mammal, for that matter).

All the research hyperlinked below is from peer-reviewed biomedical and toxicological data from the US National Library of Medicine. We offer this research so that consumers can make an educated decision based on first hand literature and not solely the manufacturer's advertising copy.
