What's on your mind?

I need to go make some tea. Nothing like tea when you're getting over a cold.

Aww... you're sick?
*comically drags a couch and puts it in place * have a lay on this comfy thing!

I drink more sweet tea than I do water.

Wait a minute... there's still water even in sweet tea... no?

Not terribly. My nose was killing me pretty bad Saturday and Sunday, but I've been mostly good since yesterday.
*looks at comfy couch longingly*
Oh don't feed my laziness!

Yes but I doubt drinking sweet tea eight times a day is gonna be just as good for me as plain water.

Aahh... too much sugar...

Ive been drinking sweet iced tea since I was a baby. Mom used to put it in my baby bottle. Ive never had kidney or bladder problem. Never had any infections or stones. Tea is very good for you.

Aahh... too much sugar...

Artificial sweeteners, saccharine, aspartame ( and if you don't like that) sucralose, or Acesulfame K (Acesulfame Potassium, which you can also bake with).

I usually just put a little honey in my tea.

*tries not to heave out of disgust from aspartame...*
Organic sugar please!

I remember a time when the only artificial sweetener we had was saccharine. Have you ever had the old soft drink "Tab"? That was truly disgusting. Diabetes runs in my family. My mom is diabetic. Type II. So, its either use artificial sweeteners or drink plain water.

That reminds me of this scene from Sleeping Beauty. No idea why though.

Have you tried agave nectar?

Nope. Hard enough trying to get her to try "new fangled" things.

Pound for pound you're better off with Aspartame. Most of the studies alluding to its dangers have been long debunked. I just don't like how it dries my mouth.

Ah. I'm sorry to hear. My grandpa had diabetes before he passed too. No I haven even heard of Tab.

Really!? Debunked!?

My dad is type two diabetic, he controls it with diet alone; no insulin. Agave nectar is very sweet (tequila is made from agave), and it actually has some health benifits to it. My dad did great on it and my mom would use it in recipes for him. And it tastes amazing with iced tea.

Another one to look into is maple syrup- *real maple* not Mrs Butterworth's or Log Cabin. The real stuff.

I honestly don't buy that.

Yeah, I'll shall try and dig them out. You might find them on Pubmed...
