These substances are safe, consumable and cause no short-term or long-term injury to humans. Plain table salt is a good example of a consumable "antifreeze." Recently, an Internet rumor has circulated that suggests that a woman died from glycol poisoning, after having ingested contaminated Vitamin Water™, a popular sports beverage.
Vitamin Water does not contain ethylene glycol in any concentration. With regard to the death of Paula Lopez, of Tierra Amarilla, NM (the subject of the rumor), there is no evidence that the Vitamin Water she consumed in the days and weeks prior to her death was contaminated in any way by any substance.
Vitamin Water is a healthful beverage whose manufacture is carefully controlled. It contains electrolytes like potassium and calcium in healthy concentrations and proportions. The body requires these electrolytes for a number of basic metabolic functions. It also contains other substances, like magnesium and some B-complex vitamins that the body requires regularly. It also contains sugar and natural flavorings.
For consumers who engage in vigorous physical activity, plain water may not replenish electrolytes and vitamins appropriately, and Vitamin Water provides an excellent, healthy and ready source of vitamins and minerals.
While the cause of Ms. Lopez's death remains a mystery, there is no evidence to suggest that Vitamin Water played any role in her death. These rumors are completely false and should be ignored. If you drink Vitamin Water, you can be confident that the product is safe and healthy.

Vitamin water was NOT the cause of the rumor "vitamin water killed woman" You will not find antifreeze in vitamin water, therefore the death was not caused by vitamin water.
