Dr. Oz: What is Maple Water?
The next Ozcar Award went to the newest entry out there that Dr. Oz is excited about, which is maple water. Wendy is a devotee of maple water and she came to accept the award. She said she has a little bit of a sweet tooth and maple water is a nice, healthy way to get that fix while still be nutritious. Maple water has 25 less calories than coconut water.
Dr. Oz said he wondered if this was going to be a trend, but he said he was excited about it. He said Wendy was on the cutting edge.
